Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven Ambitious

Yan Fei fell from the top of the tree and sat next to Liu Yu, next to the same thick tree trunk. Half of the sun had already sunk into the mountains beside Yingshui. After rushing for three hours, they should also take a good rest, not to mention today I still have to hurry at night, hoping to successfully sneak into Bianhuangji before dawn. The two chose to walk in densely forested places, fearing that Qi Fu Guoren would not die at the hands of the super master as they wished, and continued to search for their whereabouts with the eyes of the sky. Liu Yu took out the dry food, handed it to Yan Fei to share, and asked casually: If Tuobagui can leave a secret mark at the agreed place outside the set, maybe we don't need to be included in the set.

Yan Fei said lightly: We will know soon. Liu Yu was eating dry food, hesitant to speak. Yan Fei was surprised: What do you want to say? Liu Yu was a little embarrassed and said: I want to ask Brother Yan whether he regards himself as a Han or a Xianbei, and I am afraid that Brother Yan will be abrupt. Yan Fei smiled and said: I never bothered about this problem, let alone thought about it.After so many years of fighting and mixing of various ethnic groups, the distinction between Hu and Han has become increasingly blurred in the north, which may not be the case in the south. Liu Yu sighed: "The situation is indeed different. My ancestral home is Pengcheng, and later I moved to Jingkou. I can be said to be a genuine southerner."To me, what the Hu people bring is constant turmoil and war. There are many brutal people among them, wantonly killing and looting, causing appalling atrocities. Fu Jian is quite good, but if I want to be his son Min, I can't stand anything, I'd rather die.

Yan Fei was silent for a moment, and asked: Is Xie Xuan really like the legend that he uses soldiers like a god, and his swordsmanship is unrivaled? Liu Yu said solemnly: Xie Shuai is indeed a very outstanding person, he has a unique temperament that people are willing to use for him.Although I have never had a good impression of people from aristocratic families, he is an exception. His style of employing people who only focuses on talents and does not care about their backgrounds is enough to convince people. Yan Fei smiled and said: Brother Liu admires him very much!Now I also hope that he is as good as Brother Liu said, because if he is almost half a catty, he will not be able to deal with Fu Jian.

Liu Yu's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "The person I admire the most is not him but Zu Ti. He was born in the period of the Eight Kings Rebellion, and moved south with the Jin Dynasty. Hearing the chicken and dancing, practicing swordsmanship hard.I think back when he crossed the river with oars, set up his ancestors not to sweep away the Central Plains, and never returned to Jiangdong when he died. At that time, there were only a thousand soldiers under his command, and there was no equipment at all. He had to recruit and raise soldiers and food by himself. . Yan Fei turned his head away, looked at him with burning eyes and said: It turns out that Brother Liu has the ambition to lead the army to the Northern Expedition.

Liu Yu said embarrassingly: "Brother Yan is laughing, in the current situation, how can I have such delusions?" Yan Fei looked at the glow of the sun projecting on the sky behind the mountains, his eyes were full of bewilderment, he shook his head and said: People should have dreams, whether they can come true is another matter. Liu Yu asked: What is Brother Yan's dream? Yan Fei showed a bit of a bitter smile, and changed the topic: Zu Ti is indeed a remarkable person. He is good at using the enemy to defeat the enemy. His troops went north to the bank of the Yellow River, and all the land south of the Yellow River was recovered by him.It's a pity that Jin Emperor Sima Rui was afraid that he would be too difficult to control, so he constrained him everywhere, which made Zu Ti become sick from worry and anger, and died in the barracks. His ambition was not rewarded!

Liu Yu's eyes shot out resentment, and he said in a deep voice: If I, Liu Yu, have the opportunity to lead the Northern Expedition, I will definitely influence my actions whether I teach the imperial court or not. Yan Fei gave a thumbs up and praised: Ambitious! Liu Yu smiled wryly and said: I'm a bit like talking about a dream now.If the words I just said spread out, it is even more certain that the head will be lost. Yan Fei said happily: So, brother Liu regards me as a friend who can confide in his heart. Liu Yu nodded affirmatively, and said: This is of course, and this is another place where I don't admire Xie Shuai. His family has too much burden, and he is trying his best to maintain the unpopular Jin Dynasty royal family.So what about victory?It's not that they indulged the powerful generals of the aristocratic family to take advantage of the chaos to go out and plunder the strong men and women, and took them back to the south of the Yangtze River as slaves in the manor, but they abandoned the land north of the Yellow River and west of Tongguan, and had no determination to restore their homeland.

Yan Fei moved and said: "Brother Liu actually harbors grievances in his heart, and he refuses to join forces with others."ha!It seems that I, Yan Fei, did not save the wrong person. Liu Yu said embarrassingly: Brother Yan should probably understand what kind of person I am.Hey!I've said so much, so it's brother Yan's turn! Yan Fei said calmly: I am a person without dreams, what can I say? Liu Yudao: How could there be no dreams?At our age, at least I hope that there will be a beautiful sweet sister to come and love me and enjoy the joy of fish and water between men and women.

The pain in Yan Fei's eyes flashed away, and then he said nonchalantly: Let's talk again when we have a chance!It's time to go! Liu Yu intuitively felt that he must have a sad past in the relationship between men and women, so he wisely did not go to the bottom of it, and stood up with him to continue the journey. The smoke cage is cold, the water is moon cage, and the sand is in the moon cage. At night, the Qinhuai River is near the restaurant. The business woman doesn't know the hatred of the subjugated country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river.

The Qinhuai River was originally called Longzangpu, also known as Huaishui.According to legend, Qin Shihuang passed by here on an east tour, and he saw the victory of the situation, so he cut off the Fangshan mountain range in the middle reaches of the Huaihe River as a river dungeon to vent his imperial spirit, so it is called Qinhuai River. At that time, the imperial court implemented the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, which made the powerful family system prevail, and family reputation became the highest standard for measuring status. This kind of privilege created a group of corrupt and ignorant people who knew how to pursue fame and wealth, and used exotic clothes, extravagant pleasures, and leisurely banquets. The high-school children who are competing with each other, they live in another world of drunkenness and dreams, and the rise and fall of the country has become far away and unrealistic. The resort of song chasing color.

For ten miles, there are dense houses on both sides of the Qinhuai River, with carved railings and painted buildings, bead curtains and curtains, inside which sing songs one by one, and there is no end to it.In the river, boats and oars shuttle, and the painting boats are assembled.The two sides of the Qinhuai River in the Zhuquehang area are even more concentrated places for brothels and paintings. The most famous brothels, Qinhuai Tower and Huaiyue Tower, are located on the south and north banks of Qinhuai River, facing each other from a distance.They not only represent Qinhuai Fengyue, but also represent the lifestyle and joy of life pursued by Jiangzuo noble families.

A small boat sailed into the Qinhuai River from the small pier in the East Garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion and headed towards the Zhuque Bridge. It carried Xie An, the romantic prime minister who was known as the most famous person in the world throughout the ages.In fact, the Southern Jin Dynasty abolished the prime minister system early on, and political affairs were in the hands of Zhongshujian and Zhongshuling. Now Zhongshujian is Xie An, and Zhongshuling is Wang Tanzhi. There is no difference between the left and right prime ministers, only the official titles are different. For more than 80 years, all the people who served as the supervisor of Zhongshu were from overseas aristocratic families, and none of them were from local aristocratic families. The position of governor of Yangzhou, which was attached to the imperial capital, was also out of reach of local aristocratic families. The depression and resentment of the local aristocratic families in the south can be imagined. See.In addition, the aristocratic clans of overseas Chinese bullied others, occupying land and dominating fields, closing mountains and drying up marshes, which directly damaged the rights and interests of the aboriginal clans and deepened the hatred. For some reason, Xie An has been particularly thinking about this issue recently, so he very much needs to make him forget all these troubles that are difficult to solve, let alone he can't solve them.Only Ji Qianqian can make him happy and forget his worries, just her sweet smile is enough to make him feel the best side of life, not to mention her singing and piano sound which is the best in Qin Huai. The boat draws two water ripples behind the boat, gently expanding outwards, assimilating and blending with the water waves brought by other boats passing by like crucian carp. Under the light, the river water is sparkling, and the buildings on both sides of the river are like a dream. Will Fu Jian's army bury the picturesque and poetic scenery of the Qinhuai River under the ruins like a storm? Liu Yu and Yan Fei lay in a pile of rocks on the west bank of Yingshui, watching seven large ships sail south.Liu Yu said like a few treasures: "Two ships carried heavy equipment for attacking the city, and the other five were grain ships. It can be seen that the Qin people are setting up a stronghold on the north bank of the Huai River and preparing to cross the Huai River." Yan Fei took the opportunity to adjust his luck, thinking that Liu Yu's martial arts may not be as good as his own, but he must be an extraordinary person who is naturally energetic and has a physique and style different from ordinary people; after running at full speed for nearly two hours, he still seems to be useful. complete energy.At the same time, he has lofty ambitions, calmness and perseverance, such a talent can only be compared with Tuobagui.And the two are one south and one north, and the Han and Hu are distinct, what will happen when they meet?Interesting indeed. Liu Yu looked at him, saw his thoughtful expression, and asked: Brother Yan, what are you thinking about? Of course Yan Fei wouldn't tell him what was going on in his heart, and said: I'm wondering why I don't see the witches coming after me, otherwise we can find out who the monster wearing the ghost mask is. If Lu Xun came after him, the ghost-faced man would be Jiang Lingxu or An Shiqing, not Sun En, and the same could be done for the other two. Liu Yu smiled bitterly and said: They don't need to track and search so hard at all, but only need to wait for us at Bianhuangji: Lu Yaodao or An Yaonv should have guessed that my destination is Bianhuangji, and mistakenly thought that you were arriving at Bianhuangji. Ruyin meets my barren people. Yan Fei frowned when he heard that, Liu Yu's speculation was reasonable, there were two monsters with amazing martial arts and cunning hunting them in the wilderness, it would add more variables, but it was unavoidable.Under such circumstances, it would be better to fight head-on with them without the threat of the Qin people. I only regret that under the current situation, even if I wanted to, I couldn't get what I wanted. Liu Yu understood the worry in his heart, and said: We wake up the twelve spirits, maybe we can avoid their eyes and ears. The two jumped up and went one after the other. Xie Xuan sat alone in the study of the Governor's Mansion in Guangling City. A geographical map of mountains and rivers was spread out on the floor mat, showing the situation in the area of ​​Yingshui, Huai River and Fei River. The painting was exquisite. Tomorrow he will personally lead another 20,000 Beifu soldiers to the front line. Because the enemy is powerful, if he faces such a forceful attack, no matter how good his troops are, he will still be devoured by the enemy mercilessly. The opponent has gained a stronghold in the south of the Huai River, and immediately divides his troops into multiple groups, so he will be overwhelmed. At that time, Jiankang will be in danger. Therefore, the key to victory in this battle lies in grasping accurate information, taking advantage of the opponent's large number of people, slow marching, and difficulty in supplying food and supplies, to attack with surprise troops, first to cut off their food routes, and then to take advantage of the exhaustion of their soldiers and their unstable positions , hit the Fu Qin vanguard head-on, frustrating its sharpness, in order to shake the morale of the opponent's army.But even though he thought so, how to do it was a lot of thought.It's all because the opponents came down from Fu Rong, and they are all people who have been in the north for a long time. Benedict!Benedict! Xie Xuan still focused on the drawing, and said calmly: "Who?" Liu Canjun begs to see your lord! Xie Xuan felt strange, it was already the time of the first shift, and he had to get up early tomorrow, what urgent matter did Liu Laozhi need to come to see him at this moment.The side road: come in quickly. Liu Jianzhi, dressed in casual clothes, pushed the door in, sat aside under Xie Xuan's instructions, and said in a deep voice: "I just received a letter from Feige from Shouyang, and Gao Yan, the best wind mediator in Bianhuangji, closely accompanied Yan The imperial seal of the country, to see General Hu Bin in Shouyang. Xie Xuan said in astonishment: "Is there such a thing?"He took the letter and read it carefully. Liu Laozhi said: This seal is made from the famous handed down jade white milk jelly of the Murong Xianbei people. It is crystal clear and cold when you get it. It is different from Changyu. We have sent a team of elite cavalry to Guangling, and we will arrive tomorrow morning at the latest. Xie Xuan nodded and said: "It is indeed very interesting. This jade has always been Yan Jun's imperial seal, why did it fall into Gao Yan's hands?" Liu Laozhi: It is said that this jade was ordered by Fu Jian to attack Dayan when Wang Meng captured Yan Wang Murong Wei and Murong Ping. .Some people suspected that it fell into the hands of Murong Chui, who was the vanguard of Wang Meng at the time. Therefore, the jade was of great significance to Murong Xianbei, so he privately took it as his own, but because everyone, including Fu Jian, was afraid of Murong Chui, the matter finally came to an end. Therefore, it becomes an unsolved case. Xie Xuanmo was silent and put the biography aside. Liu Laozhi continued: The fall of the Yan Kingdom was actually at the hands of Murong Chui. At that time, Yan Jun Murong Wei had great scruples about Murong Chui, so he pushed him hard. Murong Chui led his sons to defect to Fu Jian in a rage, Volunteering to lead the army to destroy Yan, Fu Jian only made things happen because of the situation.And if it weren't for Murong Chui's help, Fu Jian would definitely not be able to unify the north in a short time. Xie Xuandao: But how did Gao Yan get this Fang Yuxi? Liu Laozhi said: Gao Yan was passing on a message for a man named Yan Fei. He asked his lord to meet on a hill outside Shouyang at the turn of the seventh day of October, four days later, and told him about the success or failure of this battle. He wanted to report the matter to the lord, but he insisted that the lord must go to see him in person. Xie Xuan said lightly: Is Gao Yan a reliable person? Liu Laozhi replied: Gao Yan is the most outstanding wind media in Bianhuangji, and has always been in close contact with us. His news is 100% accurate, and he likes to spend money in romantic places, so he often has nothing in his pocket. So he bought and sold ancient books and cultural relics smuggled from the north to help him use them. Apart from knowing that he is a Han Chinese, he has no other details.The strange thing is that he speaks with a Jiangnan accent, but he is proficient in Hu dialect of various ethnic groups. His strangeness is justified. It is rare for Han people in the south to be proficient in Hu language. Liu Lao concluded: Gao Yan spontaneously proposed himself as a hostage, which shows that he has absolute trust in Yan Fei, otherwise a person like him who regards money as his life would not bet his life.Of course, he hopes that when it happens, we will give him a fortune. Xie Xuandao: Is Yan Fei that outstanding swordsman who is famous in Bianhuangji? Liu Jianzhi said: "It's this person. According to our information, Yan Fei is aloof and out of the ordinary. He is only in his early twenties, but he spends all his time burying his head in the cup.His swordsmanship does not take the wrong path, no matter in singles or in group fights, no one in Bianhuangji can beat him.With such a talent, it seems that he has no ambitions and is willing to be the bodyguard on the first floor of Bianhuangji.When Gao Yan was in trouble, he relied on his sword to solve it.It is said that he has the blood of Hu people, but no one knows the truth. Xie Xuandao: Assuming he came to see me on behalf of Murong Chui, it would prove that my second uncle's predictions were correct, that there were indeed people with ulterior motives among Fu Jian's generals. Liu Laozhi said: But it may be a trap, Yan Fei came to assassinate the Lord, even Gao Yan was deceived by him. Xie Xuan smiled and said: "I know that the prisoner acts cautiously, which is a good thing."But I want to know what you really think in your heart. Liu Laozhi sighed and said: "Under the adult's deliberate precautions, who has the ability to assassinate the adult?"Gao Yan is even more shrewd and cunning as a fox-like wind matchmaker, who is best at distinguishing between appearance and color, and distinguishing the truth from the false.He was willing to trust Yan Fei, and he would definitely not go there by mistake.Gao Yan is still a Han Chinese after all, if Fu Jian is allowed to succeed in this battle, he will become a slave to the subjugation of the country.The desolate people in Bianhuangji do it for money, and for the freedom from being subject to the rich and powerful. Both Gao Yan and Yan Fei should be such people. After a short pause, he continued: The problem is in the current situation, even if Murong Chui intends to betray Fu Jian, what tricks can he do?He has only 30,000 relatives and soldiers who came with him this time, and they can't play much role in the million Qin army.The most fearful thing is that Murong Chui was ordered by Fu Jian to set up a trap. Under the difficult situation of authenticity, we will fall into the enemy's trap, and we simply cannot bear any mistakes. Xie Xuan looked up at the roof beams and thought as if he hadn't heard him: How strange!The place where Yan Fei handed Yan Xi over to Gao Yan should not be far from Ruyin. At that time, Qi Fu Guoren was chasing and killing him personally, and according to the time, when Yan Fei left Bianhuangji, Murong Chui and Fu Jian should have not yet died. How did he get in touch with Murong Chui when he arrived in Huangji?According to the logic, for such an important matter, and Yanxi is involved, Murong Chui should not pretend to be someone else. Liu Laozhi said: "When you see Yan Fei, you can ask clearly about this matter. I hope that his reputation is indeed well-deserved and that he did not die at the hands of begging Guoren." Then he stopped talking. Xie Xuan patted him on the shoulder, and said happily: Don't underestimate Murong Chui.Not only is this person the best in martial arts in the north, but he is also superior in intelligence and tactics, and he uses soldiers like a god. He must have a way to drag Fu Jian's hind legs.ha!To win against me, Xie Xuan, why would he use any tricks, as long as he wholeheartedly helps Fu Jian fight, he can make things happen according to the situation.His willingness to take this Fang Yuxi out proves his intention.Well!You and I set off immediately to meet Gao Yan. There are many things I have to ask him in person. He Qian will be in charge of leading the army tomorrow. Liu Laozhi stood up and bowed goodbye, and hurried away.
