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 and think 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?"
Naturally, they will send 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. After thinking for a long time, he 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.
Sa will never help the "justified" Duki. 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 Duki in one fell swoop.
It is profitable for Besa, 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. His meaning was undoubtedly: How is it? This Lu She I am dating is a talent, right?
Qiu Zhen smiled, mostly with a wry smile. These civil servants are not good at leading troops in battles, but when it comes to using conspiracy methods and playing power, they are definitely top-notch. He said: "Master Lu is really the pillar of my Dafeng.
What a talent!"
It was difficult to tell from his words whether he was a sincere compliment or a sarcastic comment. Lu She's face turned red, she leaned over and held her hands in her hands, saying, "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 can sometimes be troubled when encountering difficulties. You must not be ashamed of Shangguan Cheng's kindness to you!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I will definitely try my best." Lu She nodded repeatedly.
As for what Lu She had just said, 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, the Shangguan brothers, Asan and Asi, and the civil servant 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 men, who can fight, and there are also many slaves and followers. There are also many carriages in the team, most of which are filled with betrothal gifts, and the other part are the food, grass, baggage, etc. needed for the road.
This team of more than 10,000 people can be said to be 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, he passed many places where the city was very interesting.
Familiar with it, I even clearly remember how many brothers were killed when I conquered this place, and how many enemies were eliminated.
The most boring thing for Tang Yin on the road is that there are too few people who can talk. Shangguan brothers, Asan and Asi are responsible for protecting Tang Yin's safety. They must always be alert and unable to be distracted. Lu She, who is just as idle as Tang Yin, is also a dull gourd. He
He was not good at words and was very reserved in front of Tang Yin, so as long as Tang Yin didn't speak, he would not take the initiative to speak.
Tang Yin was not a talkative person, but even he could hardly stand the lifeless atmosphere around him.
On this day, he called Lu She into his carriage. Tang Yin's carriage was very spacious, and even if there were five or six people sitting in it, it wouldn't feel crowded. After Lu She came in, he knelt down and sat at the door of the carriage.
Not daring to raise his head, he asked cautiously: "What are your orders from your Majesty, Zhao Weichen?"
Tang Yin almost got angry and said, "If nothing happens, can't we just invite him over to sit down and talk?"
Lu She trembled with fright and hurriedly kowtowed: "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 all the time." When Tang Yin calls himself 'I', it means that he does not treat the other person as an outsider, but Lu She is not familiar with Tang Yin.
His habit is that although he sits upright, he still lowers his head and dare not 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?"
"You can live in Zhongdao City. The minister has sent someone to ride a fast horse to go to Zhongdao City to 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, devoid of personal feelings, and all business-like. 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 was deliberately trying to embarrass him and said: "I always travel simply, and I don't like to bother people or disturb the place. Then you can send someone to Zhongdao City and tell them that I will not spend the night in the city, but will only pass through the city. Today
Tonight, we camp in the wild."
Lu She grinned. In the past few days, he had spent the night in the cities he passed by, and he never heard anything wrong from the king. Why did he suddenly not want to disturb the place today? He bravely said: "Your Majesty, in the wild
Sleeping in the open is too inconvenient and too dangerous, in case 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.
Don’t bother me. What’s the matter? Lord Lu, you think I can’t defeat 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, yes! Weichen will 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."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
After finally retreating out of the carriage, Lu She let out a long sigh, stood at the door of the carriage, bowed her hands deeply towards the carriage, and then turned around and left.
According to Tang Yin's wishes, Lu She went to Jiang Fan and told him that the king had summoned him. Jiang Fan nodded and was about to go to see Lu She when he found that Lu She looked poor and had sweat on his forehead. He asked, "Master Lu, are you feeling unwell?"
?”
"No, no, I am in good health..." Lu She was just frightened by the king's strange aura. Lu She did not dare to say the second half 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. When Jiang Fan entered the king's carriage, he only said "Your Majesty" and then nothing more happened. Tang Yin had nothing to say.
, 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, and when he spoke, his face naturally showed a proud look.
"Your Majesty is wise and mighty!" Jiang Fan praised him sincerely, but his words were still pitiful.
Tang Yin raised the curtains, looked out for a while, and said, "To the east of us, it should be Yicheng, right?"
"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 couldn't even reply ten words. After talking for a while, Tang Yin suddenly felt bored. Now he suddenly found that Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen were cheating on him.
The two men in * 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 on their way north. The local officials who had already lined up to welcome them were busy in vain, and even Tang Yin
Couldn't even see his face.
As Tang Yin wished, when daylight fell and night fell, the team stopped at a place with no village in front and no store behind. 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 on one side and mountains on the other. They were pitch black and deserted. He nodded, pointed at the grass and said: "
Camp on the grassland." 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 Ying Ying, and both 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, with groups of soldiers walking around the camp from time to time.
After dinner, Tang Yin sat in the tent for a while, walked out, and saw Jiang Fan outside. He waved his hand, called Jiang Fan over, and asked, "Are there any villages or towns nearby?"
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."
