"Lord, Zhang Shigui found me just now and asked me to clean up the waterway within three days. But I thought about it, and I couldn't think of any good way. ”

"You can complete this task in three days." Xue Rengui came to Li Tai's tent and said after saluting Li Tai.

"In the big picture, the shipwreck that is clogged under the waterway. It really has to be removed in time, otherwise it may cause great inconvenience. Li Tai nodded and said.

"But my lord, what is the way to clean them up?" Xue Rengui asked.

"You go find a few water-based ones and prepare some ropes. Then, at low tide, they were secured to the shipwreck under the waterway. ”

"The other end of the rope is tied to the boat. Remember, there are enough boats. And load a heavy load in the bed boat. Li Tai said to Xue Rengui.

Although Xue Rengui didn't understand what Li Tai's purpose was in doing this. However, out of blind trust in Li Tai, Xue Rengui nodded without hesitation.

It happens to be tonight, and it's the high tide day of every month. So Xue Rengui ordered people, prepared ropes, and called a few people who were proficient in water.

Then, according to Li Tai's explanation, everything was ready to stop. But now, Xue Rengui didn't understand what the intention of doing this was.

After preparing everything, Xue Rengui came to Li Tai's tent again and said to Li Tai: "Lord, according to your explanation, everything is ready. What we should do next. ”

"Tomorrow morning, when the tide is at its fullest, I will order all the heavy items in the boat to be discarded. Then the boat was connected with the warship. ”

"Let the warship pull the boat to the deep sea. When you get to the deep sea, you can cut the rope. Li Tai said to Xue Rengui.

After Xue Rengui nodded, he asked Li Tai, "Lord, I really don't understand a little bit. How this is possible, towing away the wreck under the water. ”

"At low tide, the water level drops, and the more it goes, the more about two feet. At low tide, we use wooden boats to connect with shipwrecks in the sea. ”

"When the tide rises tomorrow, the ships on the sea will rise with the water. In this way, the shipwreck on the bottom of the sea will naturally leave the bottom of the sea and be suspended in the sea. ”

"Then we can tow him away with a large ship and cut the rope when we reach the depths of the sea. Shipwrecks naturally sink into the deep sea. Li Tai explained to Xue Rengui.

"It turns out that this is the truth, the lord is really a talented person. It seems that it will not take more than three days, but tomorrow and one day, the golden sand beach and all the wrecks will be cleaned up. Xue Rengui said happily to Li Tai.

……

"I said military advisor, you give me an idea, let me force Zhang Shigui to clean up the sunken ship. I don't know what your intentions are. Wei Chigong asked Xu Maogong with a smile.

"With him Zhang Shigui, wanting to clean up the wreck is tantamount to a fool's dream. Even Xue Rengui, the emperor's Ying Mengxian minister, may not have this ability. Xu Maogong said to Yu Chigong with a smile.

"If it's something that can't be done, why bother them?" Wei Chi said puzzled.

"Just because the two of them can't do it doesn't mean that others can't do it. If you force Zhang Shigui, Zhang Shigui will naturally force Xue Rengui. ”

"And if Xue Rengui wants to complete this task, he must ask the master behind him for advice." Xu Maogong said with a smile.

"You mean, that kid Li Tai is hiding in the fire head camp?" Wei Chigong asked Xu Maogong in surprise.

Now that Xue Rengui is in the Huotou Camp, it is actually not a secret. up to Li Shimin, down to the old heroes of Wagang. It is estimated that everyone knows about it, and everyone knows it.

It's just that everyone tacitly understands it, but it makes Zhang Shigui feel that he has done a big thing to hide from the world. It's okay and I'm always complacent there.

"I heard that Xue Rengui has already started to do it. Although I don't know if his method will succeed. ”

"But I think this method was definitely taught to him by King Wei." Xu Maogong nodded, and said to Wei Chigong.

"You're an old man, and you're full of flowers. But let's be honest, except that you can calculate that kid. ”

"I'm afraid that none of you here is the match for that kid." Cheng Yanjin said to Xu Maogong with a smile.

"There is one thing I have never understood, that day I asked him to lead the army across the sea to the east. He excused himself, saying that he was willing to be the shadow of the three armies. ”

This can be regarded as his disguised promise to me, and he is willing to contribute to this cross-sea expedition to the east. But why is he hiding his head and tail so much now? Li Shimin asked Xu Maogong puzzled.

"Your Majesty, King Wei has always been cautious. He didn't want to give anyone a trick, let alone do anything to make a difference. Xu Maogong said to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, what the military advisor said is true. If the minister is not mistaken. King Wei is ready to give all the credit to Xue Rengui. Qin Qiong said to Li Shimin.

"He is my own son, why should he be so wary of me in everything he does. Could it be that in his eyes, I am a ruthless king? Li Shimin said with a sigh.

"Your Majesty, it is not difficult to know why King Wei is like this. Tonight, the emperor and his ministers will take a trip. When the time comes, the truth will be revealed. Xu Maogong said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Then tonight, I'll go with the military advisor." Li Shimin nodded and said.

"In that case, then tonight, we will visit the fire head camp at night. I believe that we will definitely be able to meet King Wei. Xu Maogong said confidently.

"I said Niubi is old-fashioned, don't let my old Cheng just praise you a few words, you don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick."

"Even if that kid is in the Huotou camp, if he doesn't want to see us. We went for absolutely nothing. Cheng Yanjin said to Xu Maogong.

"As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles, no matter what I Xu Maogong says, I am also the military advisor of these three armies. Naturally, there is a way for the emperor to see King Wei. Xu Maogong said to Cheng Yanjin.

"So how about the two of us make a bet today? If you can meet that kid Li Tai, even if I lose Lao Cheng. On the contrary, my old Cheng won. Cheng Yanjin looked unconvinced and said to Xu Maogong.

"Since it's a bet, you have to have a jackpot. I don't know what Cheng Bites Jin, you will take as the lottery for this bet. Xu Maogong asked Cheng Yanjin with a smile.

"If Lao Cheng loses, I am willing to take a thousand taels of silver. If you lose, what will you use as a lottery? Cheng Yanjin asked Xu Maogong rhetorically.

"One thousand taels of silver, I Xu Maogong can't afford it. It's better to be like this, what you and I lose to win, how about being a three-year follower. Xu Maogong said to Cheng Yanjin with a smile.

Cheng Biting Jin's big eyes rolled, and he thought to himself: "Wait a minute, I'll secretly send the letter out, and then see how you win me." ”

So Cheng Biting Jin laughed and said, "Okay, I, Cheng Biting Jin, bet with you." In order to avoid your cheating, it is best for us to find a guarantor today. ”

"The two royal brothers bet, so what should I do with this guarantor." Li Shimin was also interested, and said to the two with a smile.
