Chapter 59 Lakeside

After five days of marching, he had passed Xin'an County, Yuezhou. At this speed, it took another three or four days to reach Jian'an County.

Although the road is rugged and difficult to walk, I did not encounter much twists and turns.

After the marching of these days, Qing Yan and Zhao Jing's approachable relationship won the love of a group of soldiers, and few of them were ignorant of them.

"Criminal Master, what are you always holding in your hand? Let everyone open their eyes." Ah Shu walked along Qingyan's horse with great familiarity, looking curious.

"Yes, the prince will open everyone's eyes!"

"Open your eyes, open your eyes!"

Seeing that everyone's voices were getting higher and higher, Qingyan raised his voice and shouted: "Brothers! This thing cannot be easily shown to others, but when necessary, everyone will naturally have a glimpse of the style."

Ah Moe was very discouraged when he heard this, and his spear shook in his hand.

Qingyan bent down from his horse and whispered in his ear: "I only tell you that there is a spear in my hand."

"Take it seriously?" Ah Shu was overjoyed, and he was worthy of the child's character.

Qingyan didn't answer, but just nodded with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to get so close to him that even Tian Feng told him?" Zhao Jing teased a little.

"It's okay to tell him one person. Just think it's fun. If he keeps holding his face in front of me, then it won't be enough for me to choke on the way." Qingyan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

At this time, he rode a horse and walked up to Qingyan and said, "Report to the prince, Master Xu, seeing that it was too late and the road ahead was rugged, so he wanted to camp in Luoxi Lake twenty miles ahead, so he dared to ask for the prince's opinion."

"Go back and tell Captain Xu that there is no need to ask me about the camping matter, it's up to him to decide. Oh, and I know Captain Xu respects this prince, but tell him that if he sends you to the camping matter again, I will punish him, go."

The cavalry ordered the order to take the order and returned with a horse.

"This Xu Zhengwei is really a wonderful person. Whenever there is anything wrong with the march, he will send a commander to inform and inquire. No matter how you warn him, he will be as always." Zhao Jing looked puzzled when he saw the commander away.

Qing Yan slapped Zhao Jing to his side, "This is for outsiders to see, and the second is that Xu Xiaowei is the old subordinate of his father. Doing this will allow me to learn the method of marching faster. Although he didn't say it clearly, I can still guess what he meant."

Zhao Jing suddenly realized that he didn't expect there were so many tricks here.

"Uncle Bai, it seems that we will invite this Captain Xu to have a good drink when we go back, right?" Qing Yan looked back and asked Bai Yi.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is so beautiful. I believe Xu Shunchen will definitely return home after he knows it."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luoxi Lake is located in the central part of Yuezhou, south of Xin'an County. The lake surface is very active. If it is not winter, it would be a good place to visit.

The fortifications and camps of the army are the guarantee for preventing enemy attacks and the barriers to rely on when the army fails. A good fortification system is difficult to break, and all the enemy's tricks are difficult to succeed in front of it.

Xu Shunchen performed a textbook-like method of setting up camp for Qingyan.

The entire camp sits in a semicircular shape facing east and west, leaning against Luoxi Lake, and laying wooden piles on the outside, two deep trenches were dug outside the wooden piles, and water was drawn to fill the second trenches with water. The inside of the wooden piles was built into simple stolen stolen stolen stolen. Rows of sharpened horse-rejected stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen stolen with external fortifications.

The food and supplies were placed east of the middle of the camp, surrounded by a group of 500 people. Four simple sentry towers were built around to warn the surrounding situation. Qingyan's tent was on the east side of the food and supplies, very close to Luoxi Lake.

Although there was no spring at this time, the lake had already thawed, and reeds that were as tall as the two of them swayed on the lake in the wind. Even though the chance of the enemy killing from the lake was very small, Xu Shunchen still arranged the last 500 people to the west side of Luoxi Lake and set up a simple defense line.

Sitting in the commander's tent, Qingyan praised from the bottom of his heart: "The camp of Xu's servant is as stable as a rock. Today I have gained some knowledge."

Xu Shunchen leaned forward and bowed, "Your Highness the Prince praised him. Compared with the prince and Commander Bai back then, these humble responsibilities are nothing more than tricks."

"Xiaowei, Your Highness, the King of Wu, is a good friend of me. To be honest, we are good brothers wearing pairs of pants, so you don't have to be restrained." Qing Yan said very freely: "I heard from Uncle Bai that Xu was in the account of his father, why is he now in Xuanwu Camp?"

Seeing Bai Yi standing beside Qingyan's side and gently on his forehead, Xu Shunchen knew that Qingyan was right and that some words could be said in front of King Zhao Jing of Wu.

"Report to the prince, when he joined the army at the age of fifteen, he was selected into the Huainan Legion, which was side by side with the prince. He started as a soldier and was promoted to the tooth general." Xu Shunchen sighed heavily: "Although he did not fight with the prince to fight the iron-yushan Mountain, he was fortunate to join the Xuanlong Winged Blade that shocked the world."

"When the prince and the princess disappeared, the Huainan Legion was reorganized on a large scale, and many old generals were arranged to the place, and the lower-level soldiers were also disbanded and reorganized. Hu Shi was lucky. He entered Xuanwu Camp with General Huang, the general of the Wushi, and became a Dianbu Captain."

Qing Yan and Zhao Jing both knew very well and did not ask why the Huainan Legion was reorganized. Everything goes without saying.

"It seems that Captain Xu has been in Xuanwu Camp for more than ten years?"

"Report to the Crown Prince, I have been serving in Xuanwu Camp for eighteen years and April 23 days."

"Why did Master Xu remember his days so clearly?" Qing Yan was a little confused.

Xu Shunchen raised his head and looked at Qingyan's eyes, "I remember the time to return to the Huainan Legion one day, so that one day, I can tell my past brothers well and tell them that I want to return to them all the time for more than ten years."

If you hear these words, Xu Shunchen's career will probably end here. However, at this time, the other three people in the commander's tent, except Bai Yi, Qing Yan and Zhao Jing were both moved in their hearts. They did not expect that Xu Shunchen was such a nostalgic and loyal general.

Qingyan knew that if he continued to ask, Xu Shunchen might say more outrageous words. Even if he had a good relationship with Zhao Jing, he would have to understand his difficulties as a prince.

"Person Xu, I believe you have been a little tired after marching for several days. It's too late now, so let's talk about it here." Qing Yan smiled and issued the order to expel guests.

"Receive the order in a humble position." Xu Shunchen was not at all unhappy. He bowed and bowed and walked out of the commander's tent.

Because of his first leadership, Qingyan and Zhao Jing were not sleepy for a while. Then they only took Bai Yi to guard the side and slowly walked to the Luoxi Lake.

Qingyan sat on the ground regardless of his image, looking at the swaying reeds and sighed: "Brother Jing, if things happen here, I must bring Dong Yan and Ling'er to Luoxi Lake again after the beginning of spring."

"Yes, it's the first time I've experienced the beautiful scenery of Luoxi Lake. I think after the flowers bloom in spring, the scenery on this lake will be particularly pleasing to the eye." Zhao Jing sat next to Qingyan and looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him.

"Brother Jing, you don't need to care about Uncle Bai, just think that you and me are the only ones now." Qing Yan pondered for a moment: "Who do you think the three kingdoms in the world will be able to dominate this ten thousand miles of land in the end?"

After the initial surprise, Zhao Jing smiled faintly and said, "You are not unaware of me. Although you are the King of Wu, you have no power or power. This is a big matter in the world, so it is better for my father and two emperor brothers to worry about. How can it be my turn to point fingers?"

"Although you have always been in a state of peace, the Clay Buddha is still angry. I don't believe that you have no resentment in your heart by those two good brothers. And I know better that if you know the principles of the book, you will definitely not be worse than those two."

"Although I know you are telling the truth, why is there no joy in my heart?"

After the two looked at each other, they both smiled at the sky, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and pleasant for a moment.

After wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, Zhao Jing sighed: "Anyway, there is no one around, so I will tell you what I think in my heart."

"Although I don't know who can reach the end of these Three Kingdoms, I'm sure it's definitely not me, Nan Zhao!"

Qingyan was not surprised by Zhao Jing's view, and then lay on the ground and looked at the stars in the sky, "How can I see it?"

"Suddenly, the criminal law was punished with heavy taxes and troop service, the two parties fought each other, the officialdom was corrupt, and the granaries were empty. These six points were like ants in the giant dam, eating my Nan Zhao Guoji little by little."

"Does the two northern countries have these ills? As far as I know, their problems are not less than ours."

"Since Xiliang went south to establish the country, it has always followed the old system, turning large areas of farmland into pastures, and wanted to build a prosperous nomadic country. Therefore, even if there are some disadvantages, it cannot shake the foundation of the country. When Xiliang truly becomes a huge nomadic country, it will definitely be like a hungry wolf encroaching on the world."

"Let's talk about Northern Yan. Although they were also the Hu people founded the country, they have been following the national policy of respecting Confucianism and going to Hu since the first Emperor Yan. After decades of reform, although it was a bit bumpy, they have achieved great success. If you have been to Northern Yan, you will find that their country is actually more orthodox than Nan Zhao, who claims to be orthodox in China. After the reform is truly completed, it is estimated that Xiliang and our alliance will not be an opponent."

Listening to Zhao Jing's analysis of peeling off his cocoons, Qing Yan smiled and said, "Then we, Nan Zhao, can only sink into this way?"

I don’t know where Zhao Jing took out a wild fruit and threw it to Qingyan. After taking a bite, he said vaguely: “Of course not. As long as the bureaucratic system is rectified, the taxes are light, and the taxes are reduced, and the rest is well and rested for a while, I believe that Nan Zhao will eventually conquer the Central Plains.”

"To put it bluntly, it's a matter of reform, right? But will your two brothers and His Majesty agree? This kind of behavior involves the interests of more than one or two people."

After eating the fruit, Zhao Jing lay on the ground and said freely: "So these things are not something I can worry about. Even if there are many ambitions in my heart, it is nothing more than you can listen to them."

"So what? It's better than keeping it in my heart. As the prince of the empire, he can only watch the country sink day by day, and in the end it is very likely that it will be difficult to return. I think this feeling is not good."

"Why do I feel like you are deliberately looking for me tonight? Remember that there is no place to offend you all the way." Zhao Jing immediately threw the fruit core on Qingyan.

"Hey! Why did the King of Wu do it? I tell you, your attack caused me to be injured internally. If you don't have a hundred or eighty taels of medicine, don't get out of here."

Bai Yi stood aside and watched the two of them wrestling like children, and a warm smile appeared on her face.

If the emperor and the prince could speak as freely as they wanted, the two northern countries might have been included in the territory of Southern Zhao.

"Zhao Jing, please wait a little longer. Have you heard any sound?"

"You kid still want to play around with the sound of fighting? Tonight I will learn from Dong Yan to break your front teeth." Zhao Jing, who was riding on Qing Yan, was unmoved.

"No! Zhao Jing, listen carefully!"
