Chapter 15

Shangguan Yuanji asked: "Master Lu, what do you think of the king going to Besa to welcome his bride this time?"

"Oh..." Lu She pondered for a moment and said, "Of course everything went smoothly. He married Princess Besa and returned to China."

Shangguan Yuanji smiled and said: "Many ministers in the court are worried, thinking that Besa may have the intention to harm the king, don't you think so?"

Lu She nodded and replied: "I thought... Besa would not harm the king."

This point coincides with Shangguan Yuanji's speculation. He did not ask why Lu She said it, and said: "Master Lu, if the king successfully marries Princess Besa, what will happen to our country?"

Of course, they sent troops to Tia. Lu She thought to himself, but he understood that Shangguan Yuanji would ask such a stupid question. There must be something in his words. He thought for a long time, and then said slowly: "Tia and Ningdi have many borders. , there are many cities and villages among them. Our army can pretend to be Duji's army and launch sneak attacks on some villages. In this way, our country will have a legitimate reason to send troops. In addition, our country and Bessa have already been married, and Bessa will definitely Duki, who does not know how to help others to "justify their losses", if our frontline soldiers fight successfully and can defeat Duki's army, our country can also send envoys to Bessa to persuade the king of Bessa to send troops to Duki and annex Beis in one fell swoop. This will affect Bessa. It is profitable for Sasha, and the most important thing is that our country can never suffer from future troubles."

After Lu She finished speaking, Shangguan Yuanji straightened his back, smiled, and turned to look at Qiu Zhen, undoubtedly meaning: How is it? Is the Lu She I recommended a talent?

Qiu Zhen smiled, mostly with a wry smile. These civil servants are not good at leading troops in war, but when it comes to using conspiracy methods and playing power, they are definitely top-notch. He said: "Master Lu is really one of the pillars of my Dafeng." Talented”

It was hard to tell whether it was a sincere compliment or a sarcastic comment from his words. Lu She's face turned red, she leaned over and cupped her hands and said, "Mr. Qiu has given me too much praise. I'll kill him."

"On this trip, you must try your best to assist the king. Although the king is wise, he is sometimes impulsive when things happen. You must not be ashamed of Shangguan Cheng's recommendation to you."

"Yes, yes, yes, I will try my best." Lu She nodded repeatedly.

Regarding Lu She's opinion just now, Qiu Zhen thought about it seriously and felt that Lu She's idea was really feasible. This was also one of the best ways for his side to send troops to Tia. It seemed that he should start now. Preparing the military uniforms and armor of Du Jijun...

Two days later, Tang Yin set off for Bessa

The military generals accompanying Tang Yin were Jiang Fan, Shangguan brothers, Asan and Asi, and the civil servants were Lu She. The soldiers below were Tang Yin's personal guards of 5,000 people, the direct army of 5,000 people, and a hundred people with hidden arrows, and the guard camp. There are a hundred elite people, these are the people who can fight. In addition, there are many slaves and followers. There are also many carriages in the team, most of which are filled with betrothal gifts, and the other part is the food, grass, baggage, etc. needed for the road.

This team of more than 10,000 people can also be called a huge battle. They left Yancheng and headed north to Bessa.

Since entering Yancheng and becoming the Feng King, Tang Yin has conquered east and west, but has never gone north, and the north of Feng State is where he started his army. Along the way, Tang Yin was familiar with many places and cities he passed. , and even clearly remember how many brothers were killed when he conquered this place, and how many enemies were eliminated

The most boring thing for Tang Yin on the road was that there were too few people to talk to. The Shangguan brothers, Asan and Asi were responsible for protecting Tang Yin's safety and had to be alert at all times and unable to be distracted. Lu She, who was just as idle as Tang Yin, was also a boring gourd. He is not good at words and is very reserved in front of Tang Yin, so as long as Tang Yin doesn't speak, he will not take the initiative to speak.

Tang Yin is not a talkative person, but even he can hardly stand it because of the lifeless atmosphere around him.

On this day, he called Lu She into his carriage. Tang Yin's carriage was very spacious. Even if there were five or six people sitting inside, it wouldn't feel crowded. After Lu She came in, he knelt down at the door of the carriage and sat down in a dignified manner. Not daring to lift it up, he asked cautiously: "What are your orders from your Majesty, Zhao Weichen?"

Tang Yin almost got angry and said, "Can't you just call me over to sit down and talk if you have nothing to do?"

Lu She trembled with fright and hurriedly knocked: "I don't dare,"

Tang Yin frowned and said: "There are not so many rules in front of me, and you don't have to kowtow every now and then." When Tang Yin calls himself 'I', it means that he does not regard the other party as an outsider, but Lu She is not familiar with Tang Yin's Habit, although I sit upright, I still lower my head and don’t dare to take a breath.

"Have we arrived at Guannan County?"

"Report to your Majesty, we will arrive at Guannan County this afternoon." The implication is that we have not arrived yet.

"Where are you staying tonight?"

"But the minister who lives in Zhongdao City has sent people on fast horses to go ahead to Zhongdao City so that they can prepare for the arrival," Lu She said seriously.

Tang Yin secretly nodded, quite satisfied with Lu She's work, but felt that his words were too rigid, without any personal feelings, and he looked completely businesslike. Tang Yin snorted softly.

Lu She was shocked, thinking that the king was dissatisfied with his arrangement, so he hurriedly asked: "Does the king think it is inappropriate to move into Zhongdao City?"

Tang Yin deliberately made things difficult for him and said: "I always travel simply, and I don't like to bother people or disturb the place. Then send someone to Zhongdao City and inform them that I will not spend the night in the city, but will only pass through the city tonight." , we camped in the wild"

Lu She grinned. In the past few days, he had spent the night in the cities he passed by, and he didn't hear anything wrong from the king. Why did he suddenly not want to disturb the place today? He bravely said: "Your Majesty, sleeping in the wild is very inconvenient and too dangerous. If there is an assassin..."

"Wouldn't it be good if an assassin came to assassinate me?" Before Lu She could finish his words, Tang Yin continued: "I am trying to find the whereabouts of those assassins. If the other party comes to visit me, it will save me the trouble of not having to do anything." Why don’t you bother me a lot? Lord Lu, you think I can’t defeat just a few assassins?”

Lu She shivered in fear and said repeatedly: "Wei Chen doesn't dare, Wei Chen doesn't dare."

"Then make arrangements according to the king's wishes."

"Yes, yes, Weichen, let's do it now." Lu She nodded in agreement while retreating out of the car.

Seeing his submissive look, Tang Yin didn't even bother to say a word to him, and said angrily: "Call Jiang Fan over."

"It's the king"

After finally retreating out of the carriage, Lu She let out a long sigh, stood at the door of the carriage, and bowed deeply towards the carriage, then turned around and left.

According to Tang Yin's wishes, Lu She found Jiang Fan and explained to him that the king had summoned Jiang Fan. He nodded and was about to go there when he noticed that Lu She looked poor and had sweat on his forehead. He asked, "Master Lu, are you feeling unwell?" "

"No, no, I'm in good health..." Lu She was frightened by the king's strange aura, but she didn't dare to say the rest of the sentence.

Jiang Fan looked at him strangely, not understanding what was going on. Finally he shook his head and rode towards Tang Yin's carriage.

Lu She spoke less in front of Tang Yin, out of restraint, while Jiang Fan spoke less because of his nature. Jiang Fan got into the King's carriage and only said "Your Majesty", then nothing more happened. Tang Yin had nothing to say and asked : "Jiang Fan, have you been here before?"

"Never came"

"I led the army from here all the way to Yancheng," Tang Yin said with a smile. When he spoke, his face naturally showed a proud look.

"The king is wise and mighty" Jiang Fan sincerely praised him, but he still had few words.

Tang Yin raised the curtains, looked out for a while, and said, "To the east of us, should it be Yicheng?"

"Yes, Your Majesty"

"The defenses of Yicheng are extremely strong. It took a lot of effort for our army to attack Yicheng at that time."

"Oh" Jiang Fan responded softly.

Tang Yin said that when Jiang Fan responded, the former often said a long string of words, and the latter could not even reply ten words. After talking for a while, Tang Yin suddenly felt bored. Now he suddenly found that Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen had recommended it to him. These two are both civilized and military, so it is really not a wise choice.

It was already evening when Tang Yin's team passed through Zhongdao City, but they did not stop. They passed directly through the city and continued northward. The local officials who had already lined up to welcome them were busy in vain, and even Tang Yin's Couldn't even see the face

As Tang Yin wished, when daylight fell and night fell, the team came to a stop at a place with no village in front and no store in back. Jiang Fan and Lu She went to see Tang Yin together and asked, "Your Majesty, will you camp here tonight?" "

Stepping out of the carriage, Tang Yin squinted his eyes slightly and looked around. On both sides of the official road were barren grasslands and mountains on the other. They were pitch black and deserted. He nodded, pointed at the grass and said, "Prairie." "Encamp on the mountain." Tang Yin was not good at military skills, but he also understood that it was spring and the climate was dry, which was not suitable for camping in the mountains and forests. Once a fire broke out, the consequences would be disastrous.

Jiang Fan and Lu She handed over their hands and went to arrange manpower and set up camp.

The camp with over 10,000 people was not big, but it was not small either. It only took Feng Jun half an hour to set up the camp. Groups of soldiers walked around the camp from time to time.

After dinner, Tang Yin sat in the tent for a while and then walked out. When he went outside, he happened to see Jiang Fan. He waved his hand, called Jiang Fan over and asked, "Are there any villages or towns near here?"

Jiang Fan shook his head and said: "There is no human habitation within ten miles of this place. There is only a mountain temple on the opposite mountain. However, according to the brothers who inquired, the mountain temple has been abandoned for a long time."

"Mountain Temple?" Tang Yin thought for a moment and said, "Since we are passing by here, let's go to the Mountain Temple to pay our respects."
