The spring days of flying bells and grasses almost make people forget the difficulties of the war. There are more and more pedestrians and vehicles on the road. Yingzhou is located above the Huai River and is a well-connected place. With the long-term development of Xuan and Ning countries,

In confrontation, Yingzhou's strategic position has basically replaced Xuzhou. At the same time, because the two countries have strengthened their position in commercial activities, Yingzhou has gradually occupied an important commercial town between southeast and northwest.

Xiao Mu accompanied Meng Yan all the way to chat and laugh. Xiao Mu always claimed to be familiar with the classics, history, and collections of books. He was often proud of it and was very conceited. However, after talking to Meng Yan along the way, he realized that Meng Yan had read more than tens of millions of books and historical materials. He talked about it.

When writing articles, Meng Yan often quotes widely, which makes Xiao Mu dumbfounded.

In the debate, although Meng Yan does not use it often, if Xiao Mu is proud, Meng Yan's light words will convince him.

Although Meng Yan rarely expressed his opinions when talking about military affairs, money and food, and only occasionally said a few words, they all hit the nail on the head.

The art of war made Xiao Mu even more promising. Although Xiao Mu did not join the army, he had been familiar with military books since he was a child. However, he never thought that Meng Yan knew everything about ancient and modern battle formations, and even some niche generals or even ancient wars. Meng Yan said

It's very clear and detailed to explain.

Because he was eager to win, Xiao Mu tried to deduce the military tactics with Meng Yan, but Meng Yan did not refuse. He saw Meng Yan using his troops in a wild way and there was no trace. Even if he was forced into a dead end, he would have to be able to free himself from his previous layout.

Like a strange peak protruding.

What Xiao Mu admires most is that although Meng Yan is a overlord and has outstanding talent, he is calm and natural. He talks with him like a spring breeze. He only thinks that an elder is teaching his younger generation. He has never been aggressive.

Xiao Mu only feels cold sweat when he is alone.

Seeing that the car had entered Yingzhou City, Xiao Mu was reluctant to part with Meng Yan, but after all, it was the two sides of the confrontation. Xiao Mu was helpless. After sending Meng Yan and his party to the inn, Xiao Mu sincerely bowed: "

I thank my uncle for his kindness along the way. If I hadn’t been allowed to be my identity, my nephew would be willing to take my uncle as his teacher!”

Seeing Xiao Mu's sincerity, Meng Yan really liked Xiao Mu's child along the way. Everything was good except for not being suitable for the monarch. He was humble and polite, knowledgeable and talented. Although he had some competitive heart, he was generally young.

That's true.

Meng Yan stepped forward and helped him up, smiled and said, "I am very happy that the King of Wu has this intention. If your father does not object, I also want to accept you as his disciple. This Jiuchen Mastery also requires a successor."

Meng Yan's expression was a little dim as he spoke. If it were an ordinary person, this might be a famous master-apprentice story, but the current situation is probably very difficult, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. The master-apprentice talks about fate, and his identity with Xiao Mu is

This fate is the biggest obstacle.

Xiao Yu, the back hall of Yingzhou County Magistrate's Office, had a temper again after hearing this. His son actually wanted to take his mortal enemy as his teacher. This was simply a slap in the face.

"The King of Wu is in a good mood. He still feels like he is a disciple when the world is not yet determined. Do you think no one can teach you in Daning?"

This son is Xiao Yu's favorite, but he just made Xiao Yu lose face before negotiations. Xiao Mu's words in front of the inn have spread throughout the Shilin in Yingzhou and throughout the Central Plains.

It's a matter of time.

"Father, let alone Emperor Xuan's identity, my sons really admire his talent and really want to worship him as his teacher." Xiao Mu retorted in a rare manner.

"Okay! Then go, as long as you are willing to give up the title of this prince and this wealth, I will not stop you!" Xiao Mu was furious. He wanted to hit Xiao Mu, but he never thought that Xiao Mu would not know anything about it.

He will also contradict him.

"Father, wealth and honor are as great as smoke. In his life, my son only wants to pursue preaching and answering doubts, and he is unwilling to participate in political disputes. You know." This is the first time in many years that Xiao Mu has officially expressed his attitude.

Xiao Yu was shocked by his son's words. He pointed at Xiao Mu with his finger. He couldn't speak for a long time. He didn't know what words to use to refute this son. A prince who did not pursue the throne but was seeking to learn the same way in any dynasty.

He was praised as a model of the royal family and could promote purity in the court. He could not blame Xiao Mu.

In addition, why did Xiao Yu not know Meng Yan's talent? He was a sworn brother, a great martial arts master, and a great martial arts master, and had outstanding talents. A long time ago, Xiao Yu believed that only Meng Yan was qualified to be his sworn brother.

"You are unfair! Let's go, don't stay in Yingzhou anymore. You can walk your own way, and you will not interfere with your father again."

Xiao Yu waved his hand helplessly and asked Xiao Mu to retreat. Perhaps he could gain something if he didn't hinder him.

Xiao Mu could see that his father was helpless out of his favor and became more and more annoying about his identity, but there was no way. His surname was Xiao and his royal family Xiao, which could not be changed at any time.

"Father, I will return to Jinling today. I wish my father and Emperor Xuan can work together toward peace!"

Xiao Mu left without looking back after saying that.

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Mu's back and smiled bitterly: "Working together to peace? How easy is it to talk about!"

The matter between Meng Yan and Xiao Mu was just a small episode in front of the talks, and the people of the Central Plains were still focused on the formal meeting between the two emperors on the ninth day of the third lunar month.

Before the meeting, Xiao Yu and Meng Yan were relaxed, but their subordinates were very busy. The entourage led by Fang Keming had not had a good rest for two consecutive days, but Fang Keming did not dare to relax at all.

"Duke of Qi, Husband, I heard that Teng Han's troops had abnormal movements. What do you think?" Fang Keming got the news through the White-Yi Temple that the Lanling Army of Teng Han's troops was moving towards Xuzhou. The official excuse was to change the defense of Qiao County.

"It's an old excuse to change defense, it's not new. The Lanling Army is not a war-friendly unit under Teng Han, but the Lanling Army has done a good job in loyally serving the death."

Commander Fang Yu Geng judged unscrupulously.

"Ship Hu, what do you think the Lanling Army will do?" Gu Yanfeng asked with a frown.

Yu Geng smiled slightly and said, "Marching formations are actually more about decisions. The Lanling Army's motivation for approaching is definitely not pure, so before we can't find out what they want to do, we must have a way to respond to changes in the same way.

.”

"Oh? Hushuai already had a plan in his heart?" Gu Yanfeng felt relieved.

"Huo Youji!" Yu Geng said slowly.

After Gu Yanfeng and Fang Keming looked at each other, Gu Yanfeng said: "The White Ape Travel is indeed the best choice. The Husband is in charge of the sturdy position, so I have to trouble the Husband's arrangements."

"Supervisor Hu, do you need General Yan's cooperation?" Fang Keming asked.

"No, I plan to let Huo Youji come here as the prince consort. That kid has a special identity and a perverse temperament. He can do anything. As long as he appears, no matter who it is, he must think about it." Yu Geng was confident.

Said.

On the eighth day of the March 19th, the day before the official meeting, Xiao Yu heard that Huo Youji led the White Ape Brigade suddenly appeared near Shenqiu and immediately summoned Chu Cheng and Teng Han.

"Teng Han and Huo Youji suddenly appeared, this is not normal!"

"Your Majesty, maybe it was the Lanling Army's mobilization that made them alert. We wanted to use the excuse of changing defense to transfer the Lanling Army to deploy in advance, but Huo Youji's sudden appearance made our plan fail." Teng Han said unwillingly.

.

"Captain, can there be a solution?" Xiao Yu was also unwilling to accept it.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it was not the best idea to mobilize the Lanling Army to come. It is well known to everyone in the world that we invite Meng Yan to come for a meeting. It is impossible to control Meng Yan's personal life. During these days, the old minister realized that

Yan Que, who is responsible for Meng Yan's security, was very careful. He occupied all the shops around the inn with a lot of money. Our people could not get close to the inn." Chu Cheng said worriedly.

"Captain Chu, there is no news about Qilin Guard?" Teng Han asked in surprise.

Chu Cheng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, our intelligence is quite unsatisfactory this time. Commander Xu sent people to sneak into the vicinity of the inn many times and was discovered. Our people were either knocked out and threw them on the street or secretly disappeared.

.”

Xiao Yu is still aware of the intelligence matter, and Xu Yu's arrangements are fine, but it seems that people have taken the lead every time.

"Well, that's true. Xu Yu reported this to me, but Su Qing, the spy commander under Meng Yan, did not follow him this time. His niece is still in Chengdu, and some other well-known spies have not yet.

So far, I have not found which spy was with Meng Yan this time." Xiao Yu said with great worries. This was too uncomfortable. The contest between spies was actually a response to the confrontation. The spy was not smooth, and the frontal

Confrontation is also difficult to achieve much effect.

"Your Majesty, is it another one here? Perhaps Commander Xu is so famous that they have already taken precautions against Commander Xu?" Teng Han suggested.

Xiao Yu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's too late. Everyone has already deployed it. The opportunity has been lost. It will be even more difficult to replace people at this time. I believe Xu Yu will have a solution. This matter will come first.

, How will the formal meeting be arranged tomorrow?"

"Your Majesty, tomorrow we will negotiate with Gu Yanfeng and others at the West Lake Mingtang. Your Majesty's meeting with Meng Yan was arranged at Xiaoranting Pavilion in West Lake, where you can enjoy the scenery of West Lake. A dinner will be held in the East Pavilion of West Lake tomorrow evening.

.” Chu Cheng came one by one.

"The arrangements are very appropriate. Who is responsible for security?" Xiao Yu didn't expect anything wrong.

"Changsun Yu, he is Meng Yan's mother clan and a general of our dynasty. The Yingchuan counties are the old places of the Changsun clan, so Changsun Yu was selected."

"Okay, that's it," Xiao Yu suddenly stopped, thought for a while and said, "When the meeting tomorrow, let the scholars from Yingchuan come over and let them see our sincerity!"

Chu Cheng was stunned at first, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty is thorough, this method is very good!"

"Teng Han, how is Ming Yu going?" Xiao Yu suddenly asked.

"General Gan has not yet replied to the news. However, after the news a few days ago, Ming Yu has already contacted small countries such as Guilan, so they are still a little afraid of Geng Chao. However, the old minister thought that since he was willing to contact, it means that they were willing to contact Daxuan

Dissatisfied, we have the opportunity to retake the Western Regions.”

"Well, let them get in touch quickly. I still know Meng Huan a little. He is much more difficult to deal with than Geng Chao. Moreover, he is Meng Yan's clan brother. He speaks more well in the eyes of those small countries in the Western Regions than Geng Chao.

The weight." Xiao Yu knew that things were not easy to do, so he didn't urge them.

Chu Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Songjiang is a problem that needs to be solved urgently at the moment. Why don't we take advantage of this meeting to surprise me!"

Teng Han took a deep breath. This old man would just stop paying attention. Once he spoke, it would be a fatal matter.

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "You are right, who is stationed in Jingjiang?"

"Mingjun, the Ming clan of Haizhou, surrendered with Zuo Qing. He personally killed his brother Minghui and made a letter of fame. He is currently the general of the Jingjiang Army." Chu Cheng said disgusted.
