Seeing Yang Youcai's urgent look, and the wet clothes were still on his body and had not been changed, Cheng Xiaolian knew that something was wrong, and immediately sat up: "What's wrong?" ”

"Three days ago, the governor of Shaanxi, Wang ~ Fuchen, was defeated, and his envoy had arrived in Chengdu City."

Cheng Xiaolian couldn't take a break: "You go and let people prepare horses first, then go back to change into clean clothes, eat something, inform Jia Xu, let's rush back to Chengdu immediately." ”

Yang Youcai turned around and walked out, Cheng Xiaolian looked at it and shouted: "Send someone to invite Lord Qin over." ”

Qin Yue was still busy finishing up, although the war was over, but a large number of soldiers were still in the rain, and he needed to listen to his arrangement, and the city still needed to be guarded, although it was unlikely that Geng Shang's coalition army would kill a horse pistol, but he had to be prepared just in case.

At this time, when he heard Cheng Xiaolian looking for him, he knew that there must be something important, so he hurried to Cheng Xiaolian's door: "Your Highness, I'm here." ”

Cheng Xiaolian hurriedly walked out and welcomed him in, and then pointed to a bowl of ginger soup on the table: "Hurry up and drink it, Lord Qin is old, some things may not need to be done personally, I don't want to see you become the Zhuge Liang of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhuge Liang had to take care of everything because he had to do everything, and finally died of exhaustion in Wuzhangyuan, which is something that everyone in the world knows, Qin Yue's heart warmed, and he stretched out his hand to pick up the ginger soup: "Your Highness Xie gave ginger soup." ”

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Qin Yue: "There is an accident in Shaanxi, I am leaving here, and it is very likely that I will prepare to enter Shaanxi." ”

Qin Yue was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "This is a good thing, it's just that Qutang Pass has lost the backbone of His Royal Highness, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to guard the pass." ”

"The boss is too modest, I know your ability, you haven't spoken these days, but you just want me to establish prestige in the army, if you come to command, I'm afraid the situation will be a little better than now."

"Your Highness is too humble, I'm old, and my brain is not as lively as His Highness."

"Okay, let's not compliment each other, the matter is urgent, I only explain two things, the first thing, about the use of palm thunder, you have to remember, this thing must not be used blatantly, if they find out the usefulness of this thing, I am afraid that they will not be able to deter them in the future, it can only be used to solve emergency situations, don't just take it out and use it." The second thing, Geng Shang's coalition army after this battle, I am afraid that the offensive will be greatly reduced, you should not be greedy for merit, our current strength is not enough to fight on two fronts, so try to focus on defense, if there is time, or to repair the iron cable array, as long as the iron cable is there, their big ship will not be able to drive under the city. ”

Qin Yue nodded: "I have written down everything Your Highness said." ”

"You can do the rest as you want. You are also a veteran of a hundred battles, how to fight is much better than me, just let go of your hands and feet, the most important thing to remember is a sentence, Qutang Pass is gone, you can fight back, if you are gone, even if I go to Myanmar again, I can't find Qin Yue, so the pass can be lost, you can't die. ”

Qin Yue knelt on the ground suddenly: "How can this old bone of the old minister be so valued by His Highness." ”

"You remember, you are the commander of the Shanhe Army, and you are here, so the Shanhe Army has the backbone, so I beg the old general to take care of your health."

Saying that, Cheng Xiaolian walked closer and helped Qin Yue up, and lowered his voice: "Jin Ming is impatient, he has to sharpen more, Ma Jiugong and Wen Ruzhen can also be regarded as generals on the battlefield, they can be taken charge alone, and the old general knows it in his heart." ”

Qin Yue already admired Cheng Xiaolian very much at this time, he had been with these people for many days, and he didn't expect Cheng Xiaolian to say anything.

While speaking, Yang Youcai and Jia Xu had already come closer, and Cheng Xiaolian arched his hand: "Say goodbye today, the old general cherishes his body." ”

"Your Highness should also cherish it."

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Yang Youcai: "Let's go, let's go back to Chengdu." ”

Jia Xu had already asked Yang Youcai what was going on on the way here, and immediately glanced at Cheng Xiaolian when he got out of the door and got on the horse: "Your Highness, this king~ auxiliary minister has lost the battle, and he didn't go to find Wang Pingfan nearby, what did he do when he came to find us?" ”

"Haha, speaking of which, it's still your credit, your scare, scared Wang ~ Fuchen enough to choke, he has now suffered a defeat, go to Wang Ping Fan, if Wang Ping Fan helps him to say, if he swallows his men and horses and directly occupies Shaanxi, Wang ~ Fuchen is afraid that he will be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and he can't say anything about his suffering."

Jia Xu touched his head: "So that's the case, he didn't agree with my words last time, I thought this matter was over." ”

"Your words have worked after all, so he sent a messenger to test us, if we can cooperate with him the best, if not, presumably he will not cheapen us in vain."

While the horse's hooves were galloping, the sound of the rain gradually stopped, and Yang Youcai glanced at the hour: "Your Highness, we have been walking for two hours, let's take a rest." ”

Cheng Xiaolian looked at these people behind him who were all exhausted, riding a horse was a hard work, and it was also riding a horse in the rain, and he had to be very careful, these people didn't sleep much at night, Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, let's find a place to rest and recuperate, and then march." ”

The men went to a town, found a restaurant, ate and drank enough, and rested in the house for an hour, and then set out on the road, and each of them looked much better, and began to continue on their way.

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Yang Youcai: "You remember to inform someone to send some fierce fire oil to Chengdu, and I also have to explain some things to Nanzhen Fusi, they can use this fierce fire oil." ”

Yang Youcai nodded: "I'll arrange someone to do it, but we will also pass by there on the way back to Chengdu, the thing they said about the fierce fire oil last time is a little strange, it's better to go over and take a look." ”

Cheng Xiaolian shook his head: "Wang ~ Fuchen has just been defeated, and his thoughts are uneasy every day, if we can't give him the reply he wants in time, I'm afraid that he will have to find another Wang Ping Fan, and then we will be really embattled, this opportunity is very good, we must seize it." ”

Yang Youcai nodded: "In that case, let's hurry as soon as possible, and I will immediately let people inform the people over there about the fierce fire oil." ”

Everyone hurried and finally arrived at Chengdu Mansion three days later, Cheng Xiaolian entered the city, Confucius personally greeted him, and after a few words of greeting, Cheng Xiaolian asked: "How is the envoy of the king ~ auxiliary minister?" ”

Confucius smiled bitterly: "I have already received a letter from His Royal Highness Flying Pigeon, but their conditions are too harsh, so I can't agree to them, and I am talking to them." ”

Cheng Xiaolian frowned: "What conditions did they offer?" ”

"Let's send 8,000 people to help him defeat Daniel Zhang, the governor of Gansu, and after the matter is completed, he is willing to give 1,000 taels of gold, 30,000 taels of silver, and 10,000 taels of grain and grass to thank us, but we must immediately withdraw from Shaanxi without the slightest stop."
