Huan Yuan didn't say a word, but with a sudden flick of his wrist, the fishing rod snapped off and fell into the water. "I have obtained all the benefits that can be obtained. Why don't you just accept it if it doesn't work out and come back next year? Do you have to force the Han court to agree with each other, and the soldiers will conquer it, and all jade and stone will be destroyed before they will give up?"

Zhong Liqi knew that Huan Yuan was in a bad mood, but he knew better that Huan Yuan's suggestion would not be accepted.King Minyue and Prince Wu Liu Ju were both captivated by the victory in front of them. Telling them to stop here and give up Wu County, which is at their fingertips, is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger, let alone the territory they have already won.

"General, there may be another way to delay a little time."

"Delay for a while?" Huan Yuan turned his head to the side and stared at Zhong Liqi displeased.Zhong Liqi was startled, subconsciously took a step back, stepped on the ground, and almost fell into the cabin.Huan Yuan reached out his hand in time, grabbed Zhong Liqi, and scolded: "What's wrong with you recently, you're out of your mind."

"It's because of General Huwei." Zhong Liqi smiled awkwardly. "General, haven't you noticed that since you returned to the battlefield, your realm has advanced by leaps and bounds, making rapid progress."

"It's so exaggerated." Huan Yuan laughed, a rare smile appeared in his eyes. "That kid is chasing him so closely, wouldn't it be embarrassing for me as a master if I don't make progress?"

"Is this the so-called sharpening each other?"

"Of course. If there is no equal opponent, it will be difficult to arouse the fighting spirit. The three armies can win the commander, but the individual cannot lose the morale. If a person does not have the fighting spirit, it will be difficult to make progress."

Zhong Liqi frowned, looking very disappointed. "So it's my loss that Niu'er didn't come?"

Huan Yuan couldn't help laughing.He waved his hand to signal Zhong Liqi to get down to business.Zhong Liqi put away his smile, and told about the fact that he found someone secretly following Yan Zhu, Liang Xiao and his party. "Judging from the accents of those people, the leader is a local, surnamed Hu, and the others are all foreigners, like rangers from Chang'an."

"Surname Hu? A ranger from Chang'an?" Huan Yuan's eyes flickered, he thought for a moment, and nodded slightly. "This is indeed an opportunity."

……

Liang Xiao stood on a high place, held his bow and arrow, and watched every move around him vigilantly.

Although they were still in the hinterland of Kuaiji County and still some distance away from the front line of the battle, Liang Xiao and Li Jiao didn't dare to be careless.Without the protection of Huainan Kingdom and Jiangdu Kingdom, and the soldiers from Kuaiji County were on the front line, only a dozen or so people came to meet Yan Zhu. If an accident happened, the consequences would be disastrous.

For people in this era, crossing the Yangtze River is a frontier, a wild land with vast land and few people, where anything is possible.

What's more, Liang Xiao was always worried that it was his master Huan Yuan who was commanding the Minyue army.Huan Yuan is easy to use, it is impossible for him not to send people to pay attention to the movement on the river.It is normal to find that the imperial court has envoys and send people to assassinate them.

Unrestricted attacks were originally the first choice for the weak.

"Ah Xiao, you're too nervous." Li Jiao rushed over, and couldn't help laughing when he saw Liang Xiao's appearance as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

"It's okay not to be nervous." Liang Xiao smiled wryly, "You also know why the general sent me here, but to be honest, if I really want to fight my master, I don't even have a [-]% chance of winning."

Li Jiao knew the inside story, if it wasn't for dealing with Huan Yuan, Liang Xiao, a boy who was just 16 years old, would never have had such an opportunity.In Weiyang Lang's office, he is now Li Guang's entourage, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to be on duty officially, let alone a business trip.

"Having said that, don't be too nervous." Li Jiao comforted: "If you are too nervous, it is easy to make a misjudgment and miss the real goal."

Liang Xiao nodded and took a deep breath to relax his nervousness. "How is the training guys?"

"Good progress, although the posture is a bit ugly." Li Jiao smiled and said: "With the life jacket you made, even if you fall into the water, it is not so easy to drown. Ah Xiao, without you this time, we will be very passive .”

"We are still very passive now." Liang Xiao frowned. "We're going too slowly."

Li Jiao nodded, showing helplessness.They were indeed walking very slowly now, because they were dragged down by Wang Xing and others.Wang Xing took a car, but his followers didn't have mounts, so they could only walk, thirty or forty miles a day was the limit.Before they came, Liang Xiao and the others all had horses and could travel more than 100 miles a day.

"Yan Zhu didn't think of any good solution yet, so he had to delay on the road for a few days." Seeing no one around, Li Jiao lowered his voice and said, "Before we walked fast, which saved a lot of time, he was naturally not in a hurry. He was in a hurry The most important thing is how to complete the task, the prefect and the captain are all in the barracks, it is not easy to seize their military power."

Liang Xiao sighed.He can understand Yan Zhu's current difficulties. Extraordinary means are not so easy to use. Once he misses, he will suffer backlash.Yan Zhu has literary talent and brains, but he is a scholar after all, more than enough to be a counselor, it is really difficult for him to deal with such a situation.

Marching and fighting is a very rigorous knowledge, which cannot be learned by reading two military books.

As the sun set and night fell, Liang Xiao and Li Jiao called up the officials who were practicing water warfare by the lake, and arranged for tonight's security mission.They live in Wangjiang Station, which is on the edge of Zhenze—that is, Taihu Lake. The scenery here is very good. If you climb to the second floor of the post house, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Zhenze at sunset, but for Liang Xiao and others, It is said that under this beautiful scenery, there are unpredictable dangers.

There are a large number of reeds by the lake. If someone uses the waterway to approach it quietly, and then leaves along the waterway after they succeed, they will have nothing to do.

"Brother Li, you guard the high ground behind the post house, and I guard the lake. From now on, everyone must cheer up and never relax."

Li Jiao looked at the surrounding environment and agreed with Liang Xiao.He reported the security plan to Yan Zhu, and informed Wei Qing and Qin Ge that no matter what happened, Yan Zhu could not be out of their sight.Even Wang Xing and the others were not allowed to enter the second floor of the post house casually, in case some of them colluded with Minyue and cooperated internally and externally, which would be detrimental to Yan Zhu.

After hearing Li Jiao's words, Yan Zhu's face turned pale.He didn't say anything, just nodded.

After the arrangements were made, everyone had a full meal, brought some dry food, and entered their respective posts.Liang Xiao took a man named Li Shuyun to sneak into the reeds near the lake in front of the post house, and sat cross-legged.

"You watch in the first half of the night, and I'll come in the second half of the night." Liang Xiao said to Li Shuyun, "Don't fall asleep. If you can't hold on, wake me up in advance."

"Don't worry, I will definitely keep my eyes wide open." Li Shuyun patted his chest and said.

Li Shuyun is also from Longyou, Li Jiao's family.He joined the job as a son of a good family, has a good riding style, is alert, and is especially good at foot combat.Liang Xiao chose him because he liked his ability.The lakeside is the place where the enemy is most likely to break through, so the most capable forces must be deployed.

After making arrangements, Liang Xiao closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and planned to rest his mind.For some reason, it was difficult for him to fall asleep today, and he always felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him nearby. It was not until half an hour later that he reluctantly entered a meditative state that seemed to be half asleep.

As if it was just for a split second, Liang Xiao suddenly opened his eyes.

Li Shuyun was watching the surroundings vigilantly, and when he sensed Liang Xiao's movement, he immediately turned his head.Just when he was about to speak, Liang Xiao covered his mouth with his hand, shook his head lightly, motioned him to keep quiet, pointed to his front right, and raised three fingers.
