Chapter four hundred and ninety fourth: a pot of flowers
Shu Hui sat quietly in the immortal pavilion. It was getting late. The afterglow of the sunset shone the last beam of light on the lake surface. The waves rippled, and the golden light was cut into pieces by the ripples, just like his current mood, and it was also fragments.
On his right hand, there was a pot of blooming peonies. He brought them from Luoyang specifically. When he took them away, he was still in bud. When he arrived here, this precious three-color peony had already bloomed with its stamens, which was particularly beautiful.
He made an appointment with Wang Yueyao, but he didn't know if the other party would come. He had been in Dengxian for a while and hesitated for a while before finally making up his mind.
The sound of horse hooves came from afar. Shu Huixin jumped wildly. He stood up suddenly, took a deep breath, and gently pressed his hand on his chest. He said that he had given up on Wang Yueyao, but when he saw her shadow, his heart still couldn't hold back.
Seeing Wang Yueyao step by step approaching the pavilion, Shu Hui walked forward a few steps, "Come?"
"Here!" Wang Yueyao smiled gently, held the hem of her skirt and walked into the pavilion. She saw the pot of three-colored peonies at a glance.
"Peony!" she screamed in surprise.
"Yes, I specially brought it from Luoyang City to give it to you. The time is just right now, it is the most beautiful moment when it blooms!" Shu Hui smiled and said, "I just don't know if you like it?"
"It took a lot of effort to bring it here so far? I like it very much!" Wang Yueyao said.
"It's very troublesome for ordinary people, but it's not a big deal for me. What I did was just to choose this basin for you personally. The rest of the things were done by others. However, I did do it myself when I moved him from Dengxian today." Shu Hui smiled.
"This is the truth." Wang Yueyao sat down, "Then I'm disrespectful. Thank you, Lord Shu."
"What's your name? It sounds so good!" Shu Hui sat opposite Wang Yueyao and looked at the other party's eyes, "I was worried that you wouldn't come to see me?"
"How dare you not come to see you? Now that the army of Qi in Dengxian is gathering, we can't sleep or eat. If I don't come with your call, it will be terrible that your army will attack. Now our territory is extremely empty, and Zou Ming's army is not enough for you to get between you." Wang Yueyao placed the pot of peonies among the two, and while talking, he admired the blooming peonies.
"This is so sarcastic." Shu Hui laughed, "The army's arrival in Dengxian was just a routine exercise."
"Is that true?" Wang Yueyao poked her head out from the side of Mudan and looked at the other person with a smile.
Shu Hui's face turned slightly red, "No."
"Isn't this going to end? Are you trying to make a decision?" Wang Yueyao smiled and said, "It's just that I'm very surprised. Why do you put such an army here for free and eat and drink here every day without taking action? Isn't this the best opportunity now?"
"Of course not!" Shu Hui said honestly: "But we are waiting for the best opportunity."
"When will the best opportunity be?" Wang Yueyao asked with a smile, "Is it the best opportunity to wait until General Qin's army returns and then fight him again?"
Shu Hui smiled, "That's right, it doesn't matter to tell you. Qin Feng intervened in the war between Luo Yishui and Emperor Yue. According to our judgment, Qin Feng has little chance and is likely to be fatal to be hit, because this war will not only involve the three parties, but Qin will also inevitably intervene."
After a moment of pause, Shu Hui continued: "If Qin Feng is hit by a fatal blow, of course we will not be polite. The army will advance towards Shayang and take down all the territory controlled by the Taiping Army in one fell swoop. If there is a chance, more troops will arrive and take all the Vietnamese country into their pockets in one fell swoop."
"So that's how it is?" Wang Yueyao nodded thoughtfully.
"The value of Qin Feng to us is the warlike army under his command. At first we didn't expect that a small bandit army could actually develop to such a scale in a short period of time. When we started to face him and start to find out his background, he had already grown up." Shu Hui said with some emotion: "Qin Feng is very lucky. Of course, maybe it's not luck, but his plot was very accurate, and he was tying us when we started a large-scale war with Chu."
Hearing this, Wang Yueyao laughed.
"If we turn against Qin Feng, ordinary county soldiers will definitely not be opponents, but our current elite forces are fighting against Chu. Another part of them must be guarded against Qin, because Qin will definitely not sit idly by and watch out for Chu. Once we have an absolute advantage on the battlefield, the Qin people will definitely send troops to help Chu, so we are unwilling to take the risk of becoming enemies with Qin Feng, because if we cannot take him in a short time, even if the second battlefield of Chu is successfully opened, you know that the Chu people have an absolute advantage on the sea. At that time, the Chu army will continue to come from the sea to Shayang County, and then we will have a headache." Shu Hui said.
"So you think the opportunity is here now."
"The opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Now that we are ready, we are waiting for the opportunity." Shu Hui said: "Once Qin Feng fails, we will march without hesitation."
"Do you think Taiping City is easy to fight?" Wang Yueyao raised her eyebrows.
"Taiping City is not easy to fight, but what we want is Shayang, Changyang and even the entire Yue Kingdom. If the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached? Without these places, what else can the small Taiping City do? At least for our Daqi, it will not pose any threat. The Taiping Army will regress to the state of bandits." Shu Hui said with a smile.
"Then I would like to advise you, this opportunity will not appear. Get your army away earlier, don't waste time here for free." Wang Yueyao chuckled: "Qin Feng will bring you surprises. As you said, what he wants is not just this little territory. Oh, you can also reveal more information to you, as the reward for the pot of peonies you gave me. Just today, Canglang Camp, which was formerly stationed in Zhengyang County, was ordered to go to Yongping County."
Shu Hui was slightly stunned and stared at Wang Yueyao for a while, trying to find out the meaning of the words from the other party's expression, but Wang Yueyao lowered her head and thoughtfully admired the pot of a three-colored peony.
After a while, he suddenly stood up.
Wang Yueyao seemed to be startled by his actions, looked up at him, and said angrily: "What are you doing?"
"Has Qin Feng reached any agreement with the Qin people?" His voice changed a little.
"Sorry, I really don't know about this. I am only responsible for business and military affairs in the Taiping Army. I have always been nothing to ask about." Wang Yueyao smiled.
"It must be like this. No wonder Qin Feng dared to open the defense line. Cheng Wuben must be doing it here." Shu Hui quickly turned around in the pavilion, "I'll just say that the Chu army was so calm during this period, not only did not take the initiative to provoke, but also adopted an evasive attitude in the face of our attack. It turns out that they wanted us to take advantage of this period of time to attack Qin Feng!"
Looking at Shu Hui's appearance, Princess Wang Yueyao smiled: "I can only say that you have a rich imagination."
Shu Hui clenched his fists, looked at Wang Yueyao, and said seriously: "It must be like this. If we attack Qin Feng because of the Chu State's proactive ceasefire, once Qin Feng wins in Yue State, then we have to fight with him. We fight against each other. The most proud of the people of Chu is the people of Chu, which is easy to plot and plot. If I guess well, this time the Qin people must have reached an agreement with Qin Feng, and the Chu people must have put a lot of effort behind the conclusion of this agreement."
When Wang Yueyao heard this, he was also a little surprised. It has to be said that Shu Hui was a genius. The Qin people reached an agreement with Qin Feng. The Chu people did make great efforts. For this reason, they paid a considerable amount of wealth in exchange for the Qin people to give up Yongping County. Of course, there are also Qin people here who do not want to get along with Qin Feng. Since they have made a considerable gain, it would be a bit unprofitable for the Qin people to sacrifice their uncalculable lives to seize another wealth.
Wang Yueyao's shock that flashed by, fell into Shu Hui's eyes, and naturally finalized his inference. He sat down dejectedly, "Qin Feng is powerful, Qi people, Chu people, and Qin people are all helping him grow and grow intentionally or unintentionally, but Qin Feng is a tiger, and he is still very weak now. Once he really makes him full, what he will become in the end is unpredictable. Such an ambitious guy will definitely not be willing to be in the status quo."
"Since you said that, why don't you start fighting? I will clean up while he is still weak." Wang Yueyao said with a smile.
"If it's so simple, it's easy to do." Shu Hui sighed: "Thank you, Yue Yao, what you said to me is very important. I cleared the fog in front of me. It seems that we have to make another plan."
"I didn't say anything to you." Wang Yueyao said.
"Of course." Shu Hui nodded, "But for me, your words are enough to make me outline the truth. I want to see Qin Feng, can you inform me?"
"I'm afraid it won't work. Now Yongping County has been completely blocked. You can't go in." Wang Yueyao said.
"It should be like this. If you blockade of Yongping County, only you know what happened in it." Shu Hui said with some worries: "It seems that Wu Jian is going to be finished. The Qin people, Luo Yishui, and Qin Feng's three families are likely to have to attack him."
"No matter what, at least now, the Qi people still have a covenant with our Taiping Army. As for what will happen in the future, who can tell you the right way?" Wang Yueyao chuckled, hugged the pot of flowers, and stood up. "I have to leave, thank you for your flowers."
"Can we still meet?" Shu Hui suddenly asked, looking at the other person's back.
