Flatter

Xu Fang was also a delicate person. He had already seen Wang Xu's half-believing and half-doubted thoughts. He smiled and let him go aside, but put a piece of cloth on his hands and said, "This is the intention of the brothers in the army. I hope the owner of the shop accepts it with a smile. This shop is my property. If you have any reply, you can send someone to the shop in person or to the shop. Just say that the people from the Hu family in Danyang want to buy cocoon silk robes, and there will be someone to take him back."

Wang Xu took the cloth into his arms, and secretly wrote down Xu Fang's words. He arched it casually and walked to the hall outside the shop. Naturally, a gentleman in the hall gave him a gift, saying that the long gown must be done tomorrow, and he should be delivered to him at that time.

Wang Xu returned to the inn and was only the only one left, he carefully took out the cloth in his arms. When he opened it, he saw an affidavit written on the front of the cloth. The general idea was to express his loyalty to the old master Lu Fang. If he had two hearts, he would kill the earth and destroy the earth. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world had already fallen, and the vassal states had been accustomed to the siege of the emperor, and his generals had already been used to it. Wang Xu had naturally read this tooth pain curse, even if he would not take it seriously, but when he finished reading this oath, he turned to the back and looked, he couldn't help but take a breath. The back was written in a crooked manner, and they were all the names of the officers involved. When he calculated it roughly, he was afraid that there were no less than twenty or thirty. Seeing the handwriting of the handwriting was of different sizes, although many were abnormally clumsy, his writing was very strong. It was obvious that they were all written by people in the army, and they were actually written by those officers.

Seeing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but be surprised. Although this affidavit was not even a nonsense, the blood signatures written by these hands were extraordinary. If these officers had repeated, Lu Fang would just send these signatures to their masters and naturally they would have good fruits to eat. Naturally, these officers also thought of these, and did this to show Lu Fang's loyalty. Wang Xu had heard that the Runzhou Army had occupied Wang Maozhang in Lingting and had many victories, but he did not expect that at this time, the old subordinates of Lu Fang in Runzhou's army were already so unfavorable about An Renyi's future. It seemed that he had to prepare early to avoid being affected by the fish.

Changzhou and Jinlingzhou City, after the siege of Runzhou Army for many days, the city walls of the city were damaged everywhere, especially the women's walls, Wanglou, etc., which could be kept intact, were even none of them. Although Wang Maozhang and Taimeng led the Huainan army to cross the river, the siege of Runzhou Army had already been lifted, but then the army rushed straight to Runzhou. All the civilians collected from the state were sent to transport food and fodder. The damaged parts on these city walls could only be left for the future. The governor Li Yu stood in front of the city gate. His former fair and plump face was much thinner and black, and his forehead was covered with wrinkles. He was like the Jinling City behind him, and he was ten years older.

At this time, a cavalry came, and he stopped three or four meters away from Li Yu. The rider rolled off his horse and said anxiously: "Encourt, Commander Xu and his party have arrived a mile away."

Li Yu snorted coldly and ordered: "Play music and prepare to welcome Commander Xu!"

With his order, a team of drums on both sides of the city gate quickly stood in two sides and started to play. Ancient drums were formed in the late Qin and early Han Dynasty. They originated from the Northern Di and were mostly made of short Xiao drums and horns. Because of the majestic music, the border troops used it in the early Han Dynasty, and later the court gradually used it. At this time, those drums and playing were "Twenty-Eight Interpretations of the New Voices" written by Li Yannian, the "Xielu Duwei" of the Han Dynasty. This was an extremely majestic sound, but these drums and playing were slightly weak and out of tune, which matched them with the messy clothes on their bodies.

At this time, Xu Wen had already taken hundreds of soldiers to approach, following a genius in blue. He looked from a distance and looked slender and elegant. He should be Xu Wen's first-class documentary figure, and he looked particularly conspicuous among the group of warriors wearing armor and spears. After getting closer, Li Yu saw clearly that several scars were crisscrossing on the face of the scholar. His flesh was turned on, and his appearance had completely ruined. He looked quite terrifying. Li Yu couldn't help but tremble and immediately moved away from the scholar's face.

Seeing that Xu Wen and his team were more than twenty feet apart, Xu Wen jumped off the horse and walked over. In terms of official positions, Li Yu, as the governor of a state, was naturally superior to him, but after all, he was a subordinate of the King of Wu's mansion. In addition, Li Yu lost the Changzhou army this time and surrounded by An Renyi in the city. If it weren't for the rescue of Huainan, he would be afraid that his life would be difficult to protect. I don't know what Yang Xingmi would do to him later. Invisibly, the status between the two has been reversed.

Seeing Xu Wen approaching, Li Yu coughed low, suppressed the shame in his heart, and stepped forward and said, "The defeated general Li Yu paid homage to General Xu Wen, the commander of the right yamen in Huainan." As he said that, he was about to bow down.

Li Yu fell halfway through, but he felt that his arms were tight and he could no longer bow down. When he looked up, he was snatched up by Xu Wen to support him. Only Xu Wen smiled and said, "Mr. Li is on the right side of Xu, and it is extremely transcendent to go out to greet him in person. How can he receive such a great gift?" As Xu Wen said that, he helped Li Yu up.

When Li met Xu Wen so politely, a warm feeling came to his heart. He lowered his head and sighed: "I was entrusted by the King of Wu. With the responsibility of the two thieves in the field, Tian and An were in chaos. He could not suppress the thieves, but instead overthrew the army and lost his troops. Even the nephew of the Wang family who came to support fell into the hands of An. Even if the King of Wu did not blame him, how could I have the face to meet Guangling?" When he said this, when he recalled what happened since the Tian An rebellion, he felt a wet look in his eyes and almost shed tears.

Seeing this, Xu Wen didn't know how to comfort him. When he was embarrassed, a deep and pleasant voice came from the side: "What did Mr. Li say? Evil and defeat have been common in military affairs since ancient times. If he was defeated, he would not survive. I am afraid that there would be few living people under the King of Wu."

Li Yu was so clever when he heard this. Indeed, when Yang Xingmi fought with Sun Ru for Huainan, he lost seven or eight times in ten battles. Tian, ​​Taimeng, An Renyi, Liu Wei and other famous generals under Yang Xingmi had all suffered under Sun Ru's hands. In the end, if Sun Ru had not acted in a rebellious manner, had made too many enemies, and had to kill him at the top of the point where he went, and did not take the foundation. As a result, he was defeated in Xuanzhou. Now, the surname Sun or Yang in Huainan might be.

As Yang Xingmi's old subordinate, Li Yu knew all these things well. After hearing these words, he felt much better. He looked up at the person who spoke, but the man in blue-clothed genius with scars on his face just now. It was strange that he was much more pleasing to the person in blue-clothed genius at this time. Although he was still ugly, he was not as terrifying as he had just said. So he bowed to the scholar, and had seen the genius and asked, "General Xu, who is this person?"

"This is a friend of the last general. This time he sent troops, he joined the army for the Records Office. His surname was Yan's name was Keqiu." Xu Wen quickly introduced his subordinates to Li Yu. Since he heard Yan Keqiu's plan and quelled the Zhu Yanshou's rebellion. Later, when Yang Xing secretly marched into Xuzhou, he used small boats to transport food and avoided the trouble of the canal in the dry season. He felt more and more that his gentleman with unknown origin was extraordinary. He avoided the opponent's repeated attacks. After all, no secrets were found in this troubled world. Later, he recognized the child Yan Keqiu took as his adopted son. The relationship between the two was invisibly closer. This time, he sent troops and took this person to travel together.

Yan Keqiu quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Tian and An were the generals of Huainan. They were all in the midst of a hundred battles. They suddenly broke out with each other. Not to mention the governor Li, with the bravery of the King of Wu, the defeat of Donggang, Shengzhou was strong in the city of deep ponds, and in one day it became the defeat of Tian bandits. It was not only Li Gong, but even though Li Gong was defeated, he also killed and injured nearly half of Runzhou's bandits and led the rest of the people to defend Changzhou for many days. If not, Huainan had almost no inch of land south of the river, and Tian An could not replicate it. How could there be today's situation? It is said that Li Gong is not only innocent in the fight against the rebellion, but he is afraid he will have the merits!"

After Yan Keqiu's words, Xu Wen was stunned by the sound of his hearing. Li Yu, who was directly facing these sugar-coated shells, couldn't help but nodded secretly. It seemed that he was the one who was defending Changzhou City and had great contributions to Huainan. Later, he only had a few soft and humble words. The clouds on his face had long been flying to where they had gone. When they entered the city, they simply pulled Xu Wen and went in parallel. The two people who had a normal relationship in the past were as intimate as if they had mixed oil in honey, which made Xu Wen very embarrassed.

Jinling City, the governor's mansion. Since in the previous siege, most of the buildings in the city were demolished and turned into stone rolling wood and smashed on the heads of the enemy's besieged, Li Yu simply made a vacancy in his mansion for Xu Wen to let Xu Wen rest. Xu Wen refused Li Yu's banquet in the name of urgent military situation. The two came to the house. Seeing that there was no one in the house, Xu Wen smiled and said, "Why did Mr. Yan flatter Li Yu so much today? He was beaten by An Renyi and was blocked in the city. What you said was as if we were accepting his love."

Yan Keqiu smiled, and the scar on his face twitched a few times. Even though Xu Wen was used to seeing it, a chill in his heart could not help but feel. Only Yan Keqiu said in a deep voice: "This is the first time that General, is it?"

"Not bad." Xu Wen's face turned red when he heard this. He was very old in the Huainan Army, but due to his own ability, it was only the first time he led a large army alone.
