Genius One Second Remember → website provides you with wonderful novels to read. [Qiwu e-book] Nine days later, we are still in Xiazigou. The traces of war have been calmly caressed by nature. The cracked river ice has re-frozen and been covered with a layer of snow. Apart from appearing slightly shorter than other places, there is no other abnormality. It was once dyed. The blood that turned red and white was buried deep under the snow. In the ditch, several wild wolves were patrolling in the ditch. Their keen sense of smell could detect the faint scent of blood under the snow. From time to time, they stuck out their mouths and pushed open the snow layer, trying to find the imaginary food, but they failed. Always come back disappointed.
The sudden sound of horse hoofbeats startled the wild wolves. They raised their heads and looked towards the direction of the sound of horse hoofbeats with their green wolf eyes. It was not until a group of knights came into their sight that they reluctantly left the river valley with four hooves. , disappeared into the vast snowfield.
{Pig}Pig Island{Little} Story 3.zhu; The knights jumped off their horses, and the leader was Li Mingjun, the general of Western Zhao who was captured here a few days ago. Following him, his general Guo Fu was captured together. The two fellow soldiers and their bodyguards together only amounted to more than twenty horses.
They had just jumped off the horse, and the sound of horse hooves was heard from the opposite side. Then, Xu Yuan and his guards galloped in quickly under Li Mingjun's gaze. Behind them, there was actually a carriage following.
Amid laughter, Xu Yuan jumped off his horse, strode up to Li Mingjun, cupped his hands and said, "General Li, I have been looking forward to your news these days, until I received your letter yesterday. Now I feel at ease, and my days are like a year!”
Li Mingjun returned the gift and smiled bitterly: "If life is like a year, then it would be more appropriate to describe me."
"General Li made the right decision for the rise and fall of countless people. On behalf of the Han Dynasty, Xu Yuan would like to express his gratitude to you and welcome General Li to join the Han Kingdom. From now on, we will be colleagues." Xu Yuan pointed to the people behind him who were busy setting up tents. Peng's personal guard smiled and said: "We can't welcome General Li into Huining now for a drink, so I brought a tent and other things, and we will have a nice drink here."
With a wave of his hand, the soldier behind him smiled and brought over two fishing rods. Xu Yuan said: "The two of us are here to learn from the literati. We fish on the ice and cook and eat what we catch. There are some skilled chefs among my soldiers."
"Since Commander Xu is so kind, Mingjun should accompany him." Taking a fishing rod, Li Mingjun and Xu Yuan walked side by side towards the ice field. Several soldiers had already taken the lead, took out their axes and chisels, and opened two holes with a diameter of more than a foot on the ice. Two small horses were placed beside the entrance of the cave. Small jars containing bait have also been prepared.
Xu Yuan slowly arranged the fishing rod, hung up the bait, put the fishing hook into the ice hole, and then adjusted to a comfortable sitting position. "The fish in this season are easier to take the bait and taste more delicious. General Li, today I have spent a lot of money and brought a lot of seasonings from far away overseas. This is what our Han Navy has finally obtained from overseas." The spices come,
It's my king's favorite. txt novel download/Now these things are still being cultivated in our country. The output is very small and ordinary people cannot get it at all. I only brought a small amount with me. It was originally to satisfy my craving occasionally, but today I brought them all. Now, I’ll let you try the fish. I’ll make sure that after you eat it, you’ll never forget the taste again, hahaha! "
Li Mingjun lowered his fishhook into the ice hole. Looking at Xu Yuan, "Your country has spent huge sums of money to build its navy and go sailing overseas. Where did it come from? Is it just for these things? Our continent is vast and rich in resources. What is there that we don't have, and we still need to look for it outside?"
Xu Yuan smiled and said: "General Li, you are wrong. Do you know how big this world is?"
Li Mingjun was stunned for a moment, and before he could answer, Xu Yuan had already continued: "Forget it. I know your answer is just some descriptions in history books. Let me tell you, it's a big mistake. To be honest, this has never happened before. I don’t know anything either, but my king drew a map for me.”
Pulling out the saber from his waist, Xu Yuan casually drew his true feelings on the ice. A moment later, a circular map appeared in front of Li Mingjun, "My king said, this is the map of the planet we live on." Flat map, don't ask me what a planet is, I don't understand it, and the king didn't explain it to me." He clicked on the map with his saber, "Here, this is where we are, the Han Dynasty, the Qin Kingdom, and the Chu Kingdom. It occupies such a small area.”
"This, just this small piece? Is there any mistake?" Li Mingjun's eyes widened: "Then, where are the other places?"
Xu Yuan smiled proudly, "What our navy is doing now is to explore these places. Look, this is Cangzhou Port. Our navy all sets out from here, and now we have explored these places clearly. , some of these places are rich, some are poor, but without exception, they all exist one by one. Our navy is now proving the accuracy of the figures drawn by the king one by one. Our king said that these will be restored later. We have explored all the places and planted the flag of the Han Dynasty in these places. Compared with the current territory, this is a wider area. General Li, these are the places where our soldiers should go. "
"If there is such a vast territory, are there also powerful countries on these lands?" Li Mingjun asked.
"That's natural. We can have a strong country and a strong army here, why can't we have it in these places? So, going to these places is the most important thing for us soldiers to do. If I want to do it, For all this, we, the Han, must first defeat all the enemies we are facing now, and then accumulate our national strength. When the time comes, all ships will be sent together to incorporate these places into the territory of the Han. This is the most heroic thing. "
"As expected, then Li Mingjun really wants to see it."
"Of course there is a chance." Xu Yuanjian aroused Li Mingjun's curiosity and felt proud. He was learning and selling these things. Once when he met with Han Wang Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan followed him on a whim. After telling these things to the other generals, Xu Yuan and the others were naturally dumbfounded, but since it was the king who said it, it was certainly good. What's more, Kou Shuguang is now verifying the truth of what the king said bit by bit. sex.
It's just that the king said that the land they lived in was round and a ball floating in the endless sky. It sounded a bit creepy, so Xu Yuan automatically filtered it out.
"I'm hooked, I'm hooked!" A soldier behind him quickly reminded him as he watched Xu Yuan's fishing line stir slightly. Xu Yuan tightened his hand and lifted the fishing rod upwards, and a plump fish was pulled out of the ice hole. He fell onto the ice with a thud, bounced a few times, and then stopped moving.
"It's so plump. Take it. Let Ergou make some sashimi for me and General Li. When it's done, bring a jug of wine over." Xu Yuan took off the frozen fish and threw it to the guards. He waved his hand.
Only Xu Yuan and Li Mingjun were left on the ice, and Xu Yuan dropped the bait again. He straightened his back and said, "General Li has already arranged everything, right?"
Li Mingjun looked at the gurgling river in the ice cave, "After I returned, I summoned some trustworthy generals under my command. We all had a secret discussion, and they all agreed that Western Zhao had no future, and the Qin people would eventually die. He will not be the opponent of the Han Dynasty, so everyone agrees to surrender to the Han Dynasty. "
Xu Yuan laughed and said, "Okay, your department is indeed a man of great righteousness. In this way, Shanggu County will soon be able to plant the flag of my Han Dynasty."
Li Mingjun smiled. Looking at Xu Yuan, "It is extremely easy to plant the flag of the Han Dynasty in Shanggu County now. But Commander Xu, I have a bigger plan. I don't know if Commander Xu is interested." Come with me and make a bet. If you win, it will not only take over Shanggu County, but also all the Western Zhao territory including Jinyang. If you do it right, you might be able to trick the Qin people a lot. ”
Listening to Li Mingjun's words, Xu Yuan was stunned, "What do you mean? Could it be that you still want to stage a mutiny in Jinyang. Is this unlikely?"
"How can I do this?" Li Mingjun laughed, "There are nearly 100,000 troops stationed in Jinyang, which is the last capital of Western Zhao. The commander of the troops is General Zhao Xilie. If I carry out a mutiny, wouldn't I be asking for death? road."
"Then what do you mean?" Xu Yuan looked at Li Mingjun with wide eyes.
Li Mingjun looked at Xu Yuan. Feeling proud in his heart, he thought that he had finally taken some initiative. The temptation to capture Shanggu and capture the entire West Zhao was naturally different.
"General Xu, don't look at me like this. This is not my plan to delay the attack, but a plan I worked out after meditating hard these days. I am indeed a little bolder. Of course, the possibility of failure is also very high. But if If it succeeds, I believe that the process of Han’s unification of the world will be greatly accelerated.”
Xu Yuan's face turned solemn, "Tell me something."
"The key point of this plan lies in General Zhao Xilie. I am going to return to Jinyang quietly to instigate Zhao Xilie." Li Mingjun said in a shocking voice, shocking Xu Yuan.
"Are you crazy?" he blurted out.
"Commander Xu naturally doesn't know Zhao Xilie as well as I do. He is my best friend, and we talk about everything together. Regarding the current situation, Xilie is very disappointed. It can be said that He was pessimistic to the extreme. He once told me that Western Zhao was either invaded by the Han or dragged to death by the Qin State. I am afraid that he has long wanted to change the status quo. "
"But he is Zhao Zha's son."
"Why will Zhao Qi's son follow Zhao Zha all the way to the dark side?" Li Mingjun asked: "If Commander Xu can guarantee the safety of the Zhao family and the prosperity and wealth afterwards, I believe there are six reasons for this. If Zhao Xilie defected to the Han Dynasty, then the Western Zhao court in Jinyang would be completely destroyed, and it would not be impossible to trick the Qin people. "
"This plan is too risky. If not, you might get caught in it." Xu Yuan thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said, "It's too crazy, I'm afraid even our king wouldn't dare to think of it."
"Xi Lie is still young and has different ideas from his father. This is where my hope for success lies. If Commander Xu can get your Majesty's handwritten letter, he will ensure the safety of the Zhao family and not pursue any past crimes. That's good. The commander doesn't have to care about my life or death. To be honest, even if Xilie doesn't do it, he won't kill me. Before I leave, Guo Fu will take charge of this army. An unexpected incident happened to me in Jinyang. General Guo Fu immediately led the troops in Shanggu County to change their banners and declare their surrender to the Han Dynasty. I thought that in this way, Commander Xu would not lose anything. At most, he would lose me. "
Xu Yuan took a deep breath, "I'm afraid I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to report to the king and get his consent."
"No problem, I think we have time to wait for your king to make a decision. Commander Xu, in fact, I have a little idea here. If I surrender to the Han Dynasty like this, it can be said that I have not achieved anything, but if I can accomplish this, it will be a great achievement. I believe that with your king's temper, he will never treat me unfairly, right?" Li Mingjun said with a smile.
"Commander, the sashimi is ready!" The personal soldier came quickly with a plate of sashimi sliced as thin as a cicada's wing and almost transparent. There were two small dishes of seasonings on the tray. He put the tray between Xu Yuan and Li Mingjun.
"Oh, it's really delicious." Li Mingjun picked up a piece of fish, dipped it in a little seasoning, put it in his mouth, tasted it, and shouted loudly, while on the other side, Xu Yuan chewed lightly, but seemed to have lost his taste. (To be continued)
