Chapter 85: Three Kingdoms entanglement
Yi Shuihan returned to Shi Jun camp and met King Shi and replied: "Your Majesty, as your instructions, I have assisted Qian Xiaoxing in cleaning up the Hu army in Shandu."
"I know." King Shi replied with a depressed face, "Is our army still not as good as the Si army? Shan was still taken away by the Si State, but it is better than Lin State."
Yi Shuihan continued to report: "After we entered Shandu, Lin Guo also sent troops into Shandu, but was driven out by Qian Xiaoxing."
"King Lin is ruthless and unrighteous. Although he is Qian Xiaoxing's father-in-law, he may turn against others. He should let Qian Xiaoxing pay more attention." Although King Shi is rough and generous, he also has a meticulous side.
Yi Shuihan replied: "I have reminded Qian Xiaoxing that he should be prepared."
King Shi nodded relievedly and sighed: "In this battle of Shandu, our army lost more than 30,000 yuan, but it still failed to capture Shandu. It really embarrasses me Shijun. As the head coach, Bai Xiao only fought once, but he did not launch any attacks later, nor did he think about the method of breaking the city. This time the siege is not effective, so he cannot escape the blame!"
"Emperor, Shandu City has a strong defense. I think General Bai Xiao has done his best." Yi Shuihan explained.
When King Shi heard this, he became irritable and shouted: "Then why can the Si army conquer? Our army has always been clear about rewards and punishments. If there is any mistake, there is any mistake. You should immediately lead someone to arrest Bai Xiao first!"
Yi Shuihan naturally understood King Shi's temper and dared not defend himself. It seemed that he could only make plans when King Shi's anger faded in the future, so he replied: "Yes, I will send someone to arrest him immediately! Qian Xiaoxing held a banquet at Shandu Palace to invite us to thank our army for their assistance this time. So, will he go?"
"I still have to give Qian Xiaoxing a face. Since he invited him warmly, we will go there." King Shi said happily.
The two of them changed their clothes and dressed in grandly, and brought more than ten people to Shandu. Qian Xiaoxing had already sent someone to wait at the door and led the two to Shandu Palace.
The wars of the Si army for several years finally came to an end today. In Shandu, the soldiers of the Si army were all filled with the joy of victory.
Qian Xiaoxing is currently the commander of the first army, and he is only a general. After all, King Shi is the king of a country, and his level is one level higher than Qian Xiaoxing. Therefore, when Qian Xiaoxing heard the soldiers report that King Shi came, he immediately came to the gate of the palace to greet him. When he saw King Shi, he replied: "It's busy, and I can't welcome you, please forgive me."
Prince Shi said kindly: "Brother-in-law, you are polite. Our country and Lin Guo have not yet attacked Shan's capital, but you have still been defeated. Brother-in-law's brilliant plan is indeed amazing. My sister has not read the wrong person."
As he was talking, Shi Yeying came over and shouted, "Brother!"
"Your sister, you are getting more and more beautiful. Look at your skin and body are better. It seems that your brother-in-law is good to you." King Shi praised.
"He is a busy man, so he doesn't care about me. Brother, let's go in." Shi Yeying accompanied Qian Xiaoxing and King Shi into the palace.
King Shi visited the palace of Hu. It was magnificent and magnificent, much higher than his own palace. He said, "Hu Kingdom is indeed rich. This time his brother-in-law seized the palace, but he had seized a lot of money."
King Shi was not an outsider, and Qian Xiaoxing answered truthfully: "It was found that it was 20 to 30 million taels of silver, and it was indeed a big deal."
Everyone sat down and the dishes came up one by one. This was the first time Qian Xiaoxing had a dish cooked in the imperial kitchen. The taste was really good. King Shi praised it after he finished eating.
After three rounds of drinking, King Shi asked Qian Xiaoxing: "Brother-in-law, now the Hu Kingdom has been eliminated and the territory has been divided up by the Three Kingdoms. So what are your plans next?"
"Next?" Qian Xiaoxing shook his head and said, "I have always been my goal. Now that I have achieved it, I really don't know what to do in the future. I think it is to develop the national economy and let the people live and work in peace and contentment."
After hearing this, King Shi was silent for a moment and asked again: "Don't my brother-in-law want to unify China?"
Qian Xiaoxing remembered that King Lin had asked this question before and said with a smile: "King Lin is my father-in-law, you are my brother-in-law, I can't ignore my relatives."
King Shi nodded and said, "That's right, but if King Lin is not in a good mood and swallows an elephant, if you attack you first, if you want to hit him, you must make an appointment with me. Let's destroy Lin's country together, okay?"
It seems that King Shi had a strong desire to expand his territory, so Qian Xiaoxing had to agree and said, "That's certain. If someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend others. If someone offends me, I will offend others."
"Haha, my brother-in-law always speaks one by one. If Lin Guo beats us Shi Guo, will you help me?" King Shi continued.
Qian Xiaoxing immediately replied: "Then I am naturally helping Shi Guo. After all, I still owe you a favor."
"Okay, that's good." King Shi happily raised his wine glass. According to King Lin's character, he wanted him to stay there safely and not send troops. No matter which country Lin attacked, the other country would come to help. In a sense, the two countries had formed an alliance to fight against Lin. King Shi said: "Then cheer for our future cooperation!"
Everyone let go and drank a lot of wine. Until late at night, King Shi said goodbye to Qian Xiaoxing with 70% drunkenness. Qian Xiaoxing tried to stay for one night, but King Shi insisted on going back, so he had to arrange soldiers to escort him and send him back to the camp.
People feel refreshed when they are happy. Although they drank very late last night, Qian Xiaoxing got up early the next day. Now Shan Capital is already a state of Si. Qian Xiaoxing is in a happy mood. Thinking of walking around Shan Capital, it seems like he has got a treasure to check it out.
Leading the soldiers of the guard company, Qian Xiaoxing walked to the familiar street. The first place he went to was of course the Siheyuan, who had lived in before. He was walking on the main road. Suddenly, someone rushed over and shouted: "Qian Xiaoxing, you are Qian Xiaoxing!"
The guards caught the man alertly. Qian Xiaoxing took a closer look and looked familiar, and asked, "Do you know me?"
"Have you forgotten? I said you are not a mortal, but an immortal descended to earth. As expected, I can count it." The man said excitedly.
These words reminded Qian Xiaoxing. Qian Xiaoxing immediately remembered that when he first came over, he encountered this fortune teller. At that time, he thought he was talking nonsense, but now he is really doing it right.
The fortune teller continued, "I still remember that you hadn't given me the divination that day. At that time, you were trapped in the shallows and the tiger fell into the sun. Now you finally soared into the sky."
Qian Xiaoxing looked at this fortune teller. His clothes seemed to be worse than before. It seemed that his living conditions were not good. But no wonder, Hu State had been fighting and the taxes of the people were also raised, so he had no spare money to come to fortune tellers.
"Zhang Yongchao, give him five taels of silver." Qian Xiaoxing remembered that he didn't give him the money at the beginning, so he would make up for it today.
The fortune teller saw the silver and immediately knelt down to thank him. Zhang Yongchao handed the silver to him. Qian Xiaoxing thought for a while and said, "This silver is not for nothing. Since you are still a little accurate, I'll do it for me again."
The fortune teller stood up, came to Qian Xiaoxing tremblingly, looked at his face carefully, then looked at his palms, and said, "General Qian, your heaven is full and your earthen pavilion is a statue of an emperor, and your future is unlimited."
Qian Xiaoxing smiled and said, "Don't pick up good ones, it's bad to say."
"Not good?" The fortune teller was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he said: "General Qian, the palmistry shows that things you have to do next are not going well, and maybe there is still danger."
Qian Xiaoxing thought that since Liufeng City recruited troops to resist Hu, although all things were difficult, they all came without any danger. Could it be that there would be greater dangers waiting for him in the future, and asked skeptical: "How to avoid it?"
The fortune teller said: "You will meet a noble person in your fate, and this person will help you get out of trouble, but if you can't find a noble person, it's your luck."
"Oh, there is a noble person to help me?" Qian Xiaoxing asked when he didn't expect that he would need help from others, "How should he find a noble person?"
The fortune teller calculated his fingers and said, "The noble man is in the northeast direction, so you can look there."
"Northeast direction?" Qian Xiaoxing was a road tycoon and asked Zhang Yongchao: "Which place is the northeast direction?"
Zhang Yongchao replied: "Reporting to the Chief of Staff is in the direction of Shi Guo."
"Oh," Qian Xiaoxing fell into deep thought. Who is it? Could it be Sima Yiqing? Or Zhao Jing or someone else?
Of course, I can only be skeptical about the statement of fortune telling. Qian Xiaoxing nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
