Jiang Shangyan bent down and scooped out a jar of water from a clear spring at his feet, and handed it to He Rentu, "Master He, taste the water of this Xiangshui Cave, it is strange to say, no matter how hot the weather is outside, the water coming out of this cave is cold to the bone." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info On a hot day, take a sip and it's so refreshing to fly into the sky. ”

He Rentu took the jar with a smile and took a sip, "It's really good, is this sound of water cave named because of the sound of drums coming from this cave for many years?" ”

"Not bad. That's right, don't look at the small entrance of this cave, but no one really knows how deep it is, I heard that someone has gone in to explore it before, but it has not been explored to the end, and it is an underground river that I don't know how deep. ”

"How do you know so well?" He Rentu looked at Jiang Shangyan strangely: "You are not from Kaiping County, you are a Chu person." ”

Jiang Shangyan smiled embarrassedly, "Haven't I been stationed in Zhongping County all the time, I've been thinking, with His Majesty the Emperor's temperament, how can Kaiping County be occupied by the Qin people all the time, and we must think of taking it back, our Baoqing Camp is at the forefront, if we really fight, we must be the vanguard, so I have been quietly sending people to collect information related to the geography of Kaiping County, and this is not incidental to know this place." ”

He Rentu blinked, "You have figured out the emperor's temperament, Jiang Shangyan, when you were thinking about this matter, why didn't you think that you were a general of the Chu State?" ”

Jiang Shangyan took the helmet, touched his head, and said with some distress: "Master He, I won't tell you, this is exactly what I am worried about, I can't do it well, I forget who I am, and sometimes I am confused about my own identity." ”

He Ren Tu Yangtian laughed, "Jiang Shangyan, people go to high places, water flows to the place, you stay in the big melting pot of the Ming army for a long time, you will naturally get close to Zhu Zhechi, compared to the Chu army, the Ming army is a new atmosphere." This will make you feel lost, why not learn to learn from Ma Xiangnan? He is older than you in the Chu State, and he is harder than you in the background, but if you look at others, he is willing to roll up his sleeves and roll up his trousers in Changyang County to be a pro-people official, and he has done a good job. ”

"I'm not like him!" Jiang Shangyan shook his head, "Cheng Shuai and General Jiang Tao have a deep affection for me, like a father and a brother, how could I betray them, as long as they call me, I will eventually go back." ”

He Rentu nodded: "Affection and righteousness, you are a man, but Jiang Shangyan, it's not me who speaks angrily, what about Cheng Wuben, I can't say what will happen after the war, but Jiang Tao, I'm afraid that the end will not be good." ”

"How is that possible?" Jiang Shangyan glared at He Rentu unhappily: "Master He, if you want to say that, I won't have a good face for you." General Jiang Tao is now the deputy general in the eastern border of Great Chu, with 50,000 elites in his hands, and he is doing a good job, Luo Liang of Kunling Pass, if it weren't for General Jiang Tao to support him, I'm afraid that he wouldn't be able to defend Kunling Pass for a long time, right? ”

"Here's the problem!" He Rentu smiled faintly, "I have been in Shangjing for twenty years, don't look at me all the time staying in the restaurant and not coming out easily, but do you know that the people who come and go in the restaurant are all famous people in the Shangjing City, so I know much more about those things in the court of Chu than you." ”

"So what?"

"What kind of person do you think Cao Yun, the commander of the Qi army, is?" He Rentu suddenly asked rhetorically.

Jiang Shangyan thought about it seriously, "A very powerful guy." Cheng Shuai spoke very highly of him, Cheng Shuai said, leading the guard, Cao Yun is not as good as him, in terms of attack, he is not as good as Cao Yun, the person who can make Cheng Shuai evaluate him like this is of course amazing. ”

"Yes, Cao Yun is a very powerful military strategist, but why does he keep eating turtles in front of Jiang Tao, it is difficult to win, do you think this is normal?" He Rentu looked at Jiang Shangyan and asked.

"This, the military affairs, no one can say for sure, just like our Emperor Majesty, everyone thinks that he will definitely lose this battle, but isn't he winning now?" Jiang Shangyan paused and asked rhetorically.

This rhetorical question makes a lot of sense. However, in my opinion, Cao Yun did this on purpose. He Rentu said with a smile: "Cao Yun is a military strategist, not a simple general who leads troops to fight, he is well aware of the contradictions above the court of the Chu State, so he is deliberately creating and expanding this contradiction." With Luo Liang losing consecutive battles, and Jiang Tao on the other side winning consecutive battles, this made the Chu army able to maintain the balance of power on the border, the main weak and the auxiliary strong, what do you think Luo Liang will do? What will the court of Chu think? ”

Jiang Shangyan looked at He Rentu in a daze.

He Rentu sneered: "Look, if it goes on like this, Jiang Tao's life will not be long." ”

"Master He, are you saying that Luo Liang will want to kill General Jiang Tao?"

"Luo Liang wouldn't be so stupid and do it himself, but if he wants to borrow a knife to kill someone, it's very simple." He Ren Tu said.

Jiang Shangyan took a deep breath: "I have to write to General Jiang Tao and Cheng Shuai to tell them about this possibility." ”

"It's a big deal." He Ren Tu snorted coldly: "Cheng Wu is an old fox who has become a fine, Jiang Taowen is in the army, and the flowers and intestines are better than you, the general who is not sure how strong, do you think they can't see it?" ”

"In that case, they must be on guard, so aren't you guessing? Surprise me! Jiang Shangyan was dissatisfied.

He Rentu looked at Jiang Shangyan, "Jiang Shangyan, do you know what it means to ride a tiger and what it means to be foolish?" Now Cheng Wuben and Jiang Tao are characters riding on the back of a tiger, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, but they have to lean towards the tiger mountain. Such a person will never live long. ”

Looking at He Rentu, who was full of expression, Jiang Shangyan's face changed greatly, and for a while, he didn't know how to answer.

"You are lucky, Jiang Shangyan, it is your luck that Cheng Wuben left you in Daming, if you follow Jiang Tao, you will inevitably die in front of Jiang Tao."

"Master He, what can I do? What can you do to help General Jiang Tao? ”

"You can't do anything, and with Jiang Tao's character, even if he knows that this is the case, he will go all the way to the black. So Jiang Shangyan, don't think about what you can't do, live well, fight for Daming well, there will be someone to collect Jiang Tao's body in the future, burn paper for him during the New Year's holidays, and toast. He Rentu shook his head. The first stage of this battle is the first merit of the miners' battalion, and the second stage is your Baoqing battalion. ”

Jiang Shangyan did not have the joy of making great contributions, and He Rentu's words completely destroyed his good mood. When he was in Longyou, he didn't have the courage to take his only remaining more than 3,000 soldiers to go deep alone, it was He Rentu's vigorous encouragement, he threw himself alone, but what he never expected was that the Qin army had completely lost its fighting spirit, and the army of tens of thousands of people was actually chased by more than 3,000 people and fled all the way. Jiang Shangyan took two soldiers and put a big bright sun and moon flag into the city, and where the two soldiers were guarding this flag, the rest of the people were still chasing after them all the way. By the time Yu Chao and the cavalry of the horse monkey caught up with Jiang Shangyan, he had already arrived at the outside of Kaiping County, and he could see the walls of Kaiping County from a distance.

The Qin army led by the Qin general Lu must have rushed all the way back to Kaiping County, and finally did not retreat, but closed the city and defended it, and they had no way to retreat. If they retreat any further, they will have to return to the Qin Realm, and their old boss, Kaiping King Deng Hongke, will become a joke.

Five days after Jiang Shangyan arrived outside Kaiping County, the main infantry force led by Chen Zhihua arrived here.

Therefore, He Ren Tucai said that Jiang Shangyan was the first merit of the second stage. The second stage is to recover Kaiping County.

Jiang Shangyan sat down in front of the Xiangshui Cave in a daze, looking at the swarthy entrance of the cave, silent, and He Rentu looked at his back with some pity.

Jiang Shangyan is a pure general, and he may never be able to understand the choices of Cheng Wuben and Jiang Tao.

Suddenly there was a rumbling drum sound in the camp of the Chinese army, and Jiang Shangyan, who was sitting still, jumped up suddenly, it was the drum of the Chinese army, although he was in a very bad mood now, and even a little unresigned, but when he heard the drum, he jumped up reflexively.

The sound of the drums was different from usual, Jiang Shangyan listened for a moment, and said with some surprise: "Master He, Your Majesty has arrived, we have to hurry back to the camp." ”

Looking at Jiang Shangyan, He Rentu nodded.

When he stepped into the big tent of the Chinese army, He Rentu stood there all of a sudden, staring at Qin Feng for a long time. The other generals couldn't see the clues, they only felt that His Majesty the Emperor's bearing seemed to be a little more abyssed and taller, but in He Rentu's eyes, what they saw was completely different. It was a long time before he let out a long breath, laughed, laughed.

Qin Feng looked at him and smiled.

The two laughed at each other, but everyone was inexplicable.

"Congratulations!" He Tu Chang shook to the ground.

"Rejoice and rejoice!" Qin Feng also laughed.

He Rentu took a step forward and stretched out his hand, Qin Feng also stretched out his hand at the same time, the two of them were separated by a distance of more than ten steps, this posture looked indeed a little incomprehensible, but immediately everyone's faces changed.

Because just in the middle of the two, a black hole suddenly appeared. The generals in the tent are also general, and of course they understand at this moment that Master He is competing with His Majesty.

The black hole, although slowly, but unswervingly moved in the direction of He Rentu.

He Rentu shook his head slowly, withdrew his hand, and at the same time, Qin Feng also withdrew his hand, and the black hole disappeared into the air silently, as if nothing had happened.

"Since then, no one in the world has been able to enter the eyes of His Majesty." He Rentu said with a smile.

"There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people." Qin Feng shook his head and said, "There is no end to martial arts, there is no end. ”

He Rentu laughed, looked around at the generals in the tent, and said loudly: "Everyone, Your Majesty has been promoted to the Grandmaster, let's be Ming, double happiness is coming." ”

"Or three joys!" Qin Feng's eyes swept over the overjoyed generals in the tent and said, "Huo Guang is knocking on the door, if nothing else, this time he will also push open that door." ”
