Chapter 8 Brotherly Love
A few days later, the scouts sent by Qian Xiaoxing kept sending back information about Lianhua Pass. Lin Jun soldiers were speeding up to build Lianhua Pass, which could be one meter high in a day. This would not take long to complete the construction...
Qian Xiaoxing was anxious when he heard this information. Sima Yiqing saw Qian Xiaoxing's appearance and asked, "What are the son-in-law anxious about?"
Qian Xiaoxing replied: "If you can't attack Lianhua Pass, you can't put pressure on the Lin army. I'm afraid that if the Lin army on Lanjiang does not retreat, it will put a lot of pressure on Brother Zhong."
"So I'm worried about this," Sima Yiqing thought for a while and said, "You want Lin Jun to pull troops back from the Lan River, right? This is simple."
Qian Xiaoxing asked anxiously: "What good way does father-in-law have?"
Sima Yiqing laughed and said, "The Lin army currently has all its main forces on the front line with our Siguo, but he has ignored Shiguo."
"Shi Guo?" Qian Xiaoxing thought for a while, but still didn't understand. He asked, "Shi Guo doesn't dare to attack Lin Guo now."
Sima Yiqing nodded and replied, "Shi State dare not fight, but it does not mean that Lin State can be unprepared. As long as we remind King Lin, with King Lin's character, we will definitely be able to set up defenses."
"Well, what my father-in-law said." Qian Xiaoxing remembered that he had spread rumors in Lin Guoqi before, and the effect was pretty good, so he said, "Okay, I will leave and arrange someone to spread rumors, saying that Shi Guo has already replenished his arms and food and is ready to fight Qidu in one go."
"Well, whether King Lin believes it or not, in short, if he doesn't arrange defense, it will be a hidden danger sooner or later. I believe he doesn't have the courage to compete with him." Sima Yiqing stroked his beard and said.
Qian Xiaoxing immediately arranged personnel, and because the road to Lin Country was blocked, these people had to cross mountains and rivers to penetrate into Lin Country.
A few days later, the news that Shi State was going to attack Lin State was rumored in Qidu. After learning about it, King Lin did consider it for a long time. He occupied a large area of Hu's territory and troops and readjusted. The defense against Shi State was indeed too little. If Shi State takes action, it is indeed very dangerous. He had no choice but to draw 50,000 troops from the Lan River to arrange defenses on the Shi State border.
Moreover, the people of Lin Kingdom were sealed off by King Lin's bank and had no money they had earned hard, and had already started a small-scale*. King Lin really didn't expect this to be the result. At this point, he could only send troops to suppress it.
The Lotus Pass in Lin Kingdom was finally successfully built. The flying flag on the pass was written with the big word "Lin". Chen Tian, the general guarding the pass, stood on the city wall and laughed, saying, "Si Jun is just like this, he can only watch me build the Lotus Pass. They all said Qian Xiaoxing was so amazing."
The deputy general replied: "The General Qian Xiaoxing encountered in the past was all the money he had, so he could win. As long as the general came out, Qian Xiaoxing would have no choice."
"King Lin just ordered me to defend. I think if I was allowed to attack, Huju Pass could easily be taken down!" Chen Tian's confidence swelled super.
The deputy general nodded and said, "Yes, then the general asks King Lin to fight and attack Huju Pass."
Anyway, now that there is a Lotus Pass as a retreat, even if you lose, you can retreat. Chen Tian replied: "Okay, I'll write a letter of war now!"
——————————————
At the end of April, the spring was bright and the warm spring sun shone on Qian Xiaoxing's face. Qian Xiaoxing narrowed his eyes and looked. Since he learned that King Lin had mobilized 50,000 soldiers from Lanjiang, Qian Xiaoxing has relaxed a lot, and King Lin is currently being frustrated by the domestic *, and he is even more happy.
Seeing that the weather was good, Qian Xiaoxing invited Sima Yiqing and Sima Chuchu out for an outing. The three of them enjoyed the spring scenery along the way. After they were tired, they found a small pavilion to rest.
Qian Xiaoxing patted his tired legs and said, "So Si Guo is so beautiful, and he is so beautiful that he has attracted countless heroes to fight for him."
Sima Chuchu smiled and said, "I think it's so beautiful that it's so beautiful that it's a way to win Qian Xiaoxing back!"
"It is also an honor to bow your waist for the beauty." Qian Xiaoxing laughed.
Sima Yiqing sat opposite Qian Xiaoxing and said, "Son-in-law, I have almost finished studying the military flag. I have rarely had time today. Let's kill a few games."
"Okay, my father-in-law is interested, so I will naturally sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman." Qian Xiaoxing stood up and waved to Hu Suoyuan who was alert in the distance.
After a while, Hu Suoyuan came to Qian Xiaoxing and asked, "Chief of Staff, what are the instructions?"
Qian Xiaoxing was about to speak when he saw Hu Suoyuan being beaten with one eye and smiled and said, "What's going on with your eyes? Did you get beaten by your wife?"
Hu Suoyuan hurriedly shook his hand and said, "My wife dare not hit me, that's right. Yesterday I lost a silver ingot, and I was searching for it on the road. Suddenly I heard a man next to me say: Whose is this? Whose is it?"
Qian Xiaoxing became curious and replied, "Can he pick up your money?"
Hu Suoyuan continued, "I think so too. I immediately stepped forward and said, "It's mine, it's mine. As a result, the man hit me desperately. I couldn't avoid it and was punched in the eye."
Sima Yiqing finished listening and asked in confusion: "Why did the man beat you?"
"Oh, I'm having a bad luck." Hu Suoyuan sighed and said, "It turned out that the man asked 'who's it', and he told his wife next to him. His wife ruined the child but said it was not his. The man was questioning, and I just came up and said 'it's mine', so I won't be beaten up."
"You unlucky child." Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help laughing, waved his hand and said, "If you say something like 'it', it's better to say less next time. Go and get the Panjun flag."
Hu Suoyuan turned around and left, and soon took the military flag. Qian Xiaoxing and Sima Yiqing began to set up a formation. The duel between the two masters of strategy immediately attracted the soldiers of the guard company to come and watch.
Sima Chuchu sat on the referee's seat, and the two of them formed a formation. Qian Xiaoxing politely reached out and said, "Father-in-law, please!"
"If you keep changing, it is better to ask for your son-in-law first." Sima Yiqing replied.
Qian Xiaoxing was not polite. He was about to use his son to the middle lane to hit the other party when he suddenly heard Hu Suoyuan shouting: "Chief of Staff, there is important information!"
The soldiers of the guard company scattered, and Hu Suoyuan squeezed in and said, "As soon as someone came from Shi Guo and said he wanted to meet the Chief of Staff, I brought him here because of the important matter."
The man walked up, Qian Xiaoxing looked at him and immediately felt familiar. After a closer look, he said in surprise: "You, are you A Fu from Ling's Mansion?"
"Son-in-law, it's me." Ah Fu knelt down excitedly with a look of sorrow.
I remember that when Qian Xiaoxing was building air conditioners in Shandu, he met Ah Fu several times. When Ah Fu came, Qian Xiaoxing had a bad premonition and said, "Get up and talk, what happened to Ah Fu?"
After Ah Fu was helped up, he said with tears in his eyes and tears: "Son-in-law, save the Ling family quickly. Both the young master and the master were arrested by Bai Xiao!"
"What!" Qian Xiaoxing couldn't believe it after hearing this. Ling Yi was his brother who he regarded as his own brother, so he was not willing to have something wrong with Ling Yi and said, "Why did Bai Xiao arrest them?"
When Ah Fu saw Qian Xiaoxing, he felt relieved and calmed down and said, "Bai Xiao knew that the money house opened in Shiguo was run by your son-in-law, so he wanted to steal it for himself. However, Young Master Ling was prepared for it and had already transferred the money house's money house secretly. Bai Xiao couldn't get the money, so he arrested the young master and the master and forced them to tell them whereabouts of the money."
Qian Xiaoxing remembered that Ling Shan had indeed told him about the transfer of money. Unexpectedly, Bai Xiao couldn't find the money, but he caught him and said angrily: "What a Bai Xiao, you can really do it!"
Afu continued: "After the young master and the master transferred the money, they also knew that Shi Guo was not a place to stay for a long time. They originally wanted to leave Shi Guo secretly, but unexpectedly, Hu Youcai from the Hu family consortium learned about it and told Bai Xiao that they were arrested."
"This villain Hu Youcai!" Qian Xiaoxing remembered that when he was in Shiguo, Hu Youcai was pestering Ling Shan. He was ridiculed at that time. Now he has hatred because of love. It seems that he must have taken revenge on purpose.
Afu said sadly: "I think about it all the time. Only the son-in-law, you have the ability to rescue the young master and the old master. Please help me save them."
Seeing Ah Fu, who was worried, was about to kneel down again, Qian Xiaoxing supported him and said, "Ah Fu, thank you for your hard work. You are a good servant of the Ling family. The Ling family and I will never forget you. When I rescue Brother Ling and my father-in-law, I will definitely reward you."
"The young master and the master have been kind to me. Even if I fight to the death, I will come to report the news. I am not greedy for rewards." A Fu said sincerely.
Qian Xiaoxing was a little moved. Such a servant is a good servant. He said, "Then Afu, you go and have a rest first. I will prepare immediately and set off to Shiguo to save people."
After Ah Fu left, Qian Xiaoxing looked at the military flag that had not started to be set in front of him and said, "Father-in-law, the matter is urgent, so let's play this game later."
Sima Yiqing thought for a while and said, "Are you really going to save people? Don't say that the road is dangerous when passing Lin State, even if they arrive in Shi State, they are detained and heavily guarded. How can you save them?"
Qian Xiaoxing remembered the various experiences of making friends with Ling Yi and becoming a good brother. The most unforgettable thing was that after leaving Shandu, Ling Yi actually wanted to use 10,000 taels of gold to redeem him. This touch has always been in Qian Xiaoxing's heart, and he said firmly: "If you save me, you have to save me, but if you can't save me, you can save me!"
Sima Yiqing felt that if Qian Xiaoxing went in person this time, the risk would be too great, so he advised: "Son-in-law, then you must not go in person. Once something happens, it will be beyond our reach to save you."
Sima Yiqing's kind reminder also made Qian Xiaoxing think a lot. As the pillar of Si State, the entire Si State was on his shoulders, but as a son-in-law, how could he let it go? After thinking about it, he said: "Father-in-law, when he captured Shandu, a fortune teller said that I was not doing well in the future and needed to find a noble person to spend the rest of my life. Maybe there was an arrangement in the dark that I had to go to Shi State to take a trip, but my father-in-law was worried that I would definitely come back safely."
Seeing that Qian Xiaoxing had made up his mind, Sima Yiqing didn't say anything more. Although he persuaded Qian Xiaoxing's behavior, he was still very supportive in his heart, and said, "Okay, leave the matter of Huju Pass to me. Don't worry, go to Shiguo. However, the road from Huju Pass to Shiguo was blocked. You have to go out of Cangqiong Pass and take a detour to Tongtianqiao to Shiguo. It is estimated that it will take more than ten days to walk."
Qian Xiaoxing waved his hand and said, "I can't afford to waste more than ten days. Brother Ling and his father are in prison. If you stay for one more day, you will suffer for one more day. I will go to the mountains around Lianhua Pass."
"Okay, I hope I can find a way out." Sima Yiqing said helplessly.
Qian Xiaoxing asked someone to call Ling Shan and Shi Yeying, wanting to take them back together. After all, Shi Guo and the others are familiar with him. Ling Shan was already anxious when he heard about such a change. Qian Xiaoxing could only keep comforting and promised to rescue Ling Yi and his son, so Ling Shan felt a little relieved.
Qian Xiaoxing made some arrangements and prepared to ask the guard company to accompany him. At the same time, he sent 200 elite soldiers to pretend to be business travelers and set off to Cangkong Pass and take a detour to Shiguo, hoping that it will come in handy at that time.
The next morning, Qian Xiaoxing took Shi Yeying, Ling Shan and the soldiers of the guards walked into the deep mountains. At first, they could ride horses, but later the mountain was steep and they could only walk on horseback. In the end, there was no way out and they could only overcome all obstacles and go north. However, in the afternoon, a river blocked the way.
