The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 23: Classified as a captive

　　　　In October of the first year of Hua, Li Zhi raided Jianye. With the help of spies, he broke Jianye that night and detained hundreds of officials. On the same day, Princess Changle returned to the palace, and all the guards who accompanied them died. At night, Li Zhi went to Cangyunzhuang in a small manner. Xu Zhe used high officials to be generous, but Zhe refused. On the second day, the lord of the country returned to captivity, and Li Zhi plundered Jianye with military orders. In a few days, King Qin came to Jianye, and Li Zhi had retired. In the army, he captured the royal family of Southern Chu, hundreds of civil and military officials, and Zhe was among them. At that time, Zhe had already made his official career.

　　 settled down Princess Changle, Li Zhi with full of doubts, went to Cangyunzhuang in the northern suburbs of Jianye, this time the march was in a hurry, he did not bring a counselor, no one can discuss the pain makes him more anxious to make peace The ovary in my mind meets. When he arrived at Cangyun Village, Li Zhi's mood calmed down. He carefully thought about how to take Jiang Zhe back to his account. He was thinking about this problem all the way, but he was thinking about it. No matter what the method is, he has no safe grasp. Jiang Zhe is a rare person who has no chance. In the end, Li Zhi made up his mind. In any case, he must take Jiang Zhe away, otherwise he would not come to Jianye in vain.

　　 After calming down, Li Zhi walked into Cangyun Village. According to his instructions, the Yong army did not disturb the owner of Cangyun Village, but had already controlled the upper and lower Zhuangzhong. Under the guidance of Sima Xiong, Li Zhi went to the back garden. Went to Wanxiangyuan, where Jiang Zhe wandered daily, and Li Zhi could see the Yongjun warriors hiding everywhere in the garden. Li Zhi glanced at Sima Xiong with some concern, and asked, "Is Mr. Jiang not dissatisfied?" Sima Xiong whispered: "Mr. Jiang seems to be blind to us. There are very few people in Zhuangzi, except for one Li Shun, only four A little servant, but the name is very strange. What are the names of Chiji, Pirateli, Huali, and Green Ear. These servants are very obedient and did not cause any trouble, but the general Li Shunmo felt strange. He was an eunuch. ."

　　 Li Zhi paused for a moment, and said: "Chiji or something, it is the name of Mu Wang Bajun. It seems that Mr. Jiang is indeed very literary. As for Li Shun, this king vaguely knows this person. We are in Southern Chu. The secret agent in the army once said that there is a **** under the supervision of the army and Jiang Zhe is very close. I originally thought it was just a personal friendship. Now it seems that the relationship between this person and Mr. Jiang is extraordinary, but forget it. , An eunuch, we don’t have to embarrass him, lest we offend him."

　　 Sima Xiong whispered: "That Li Shun, the final general always feels unusual. When I see him, I feel chills in my heart." Li Zhi glanced at him and said lightly: "Oh, in that case, please pay attention. That's it." After saying that, the two of them have arrived at Wanxiangyuan. Outside the gate, Chiji and Pirateli were sitting on the corridor in front of the door, chatting and laughing in a low voice. Seeing Li Zhi and the others came, they stood up. , Stand alone.

　　 Li Zhi smiled and asked: "Is Mr. Jiang in there?" Chi Ji respectfully said: "The son is upset today, so he will rest after dinner."

　　 Sima Xiong heard this, his anger surged, and he whispered: "His Royal Highness, the Admiral has already informed that His Royal Highness will visit tonight. This person is really rude."

　　 Li Zhi waved his hand to stop him from speaking, and smiled and said: "It turns out that Mr. is resting, why is Mr.'s health still not good?"

　　 Chiji replied respectfully: "The son has been ill in bed since he came back from the middle of Shu, and he had been getting better a few days ago, but the Prince of Germany died suddenly, and the son was reprimanded again when he appeared on the table, so the son’s old illness recurs. If you have any instructions, please ask Manager Li to come over for the younger ones. Please give instructions from your Highness."

　　 Sima Xiong pressed his saber in his hand and looked at Chi Ji angrily, but Chi Ji was polite, smiling and fearless.

　　 Li Zhi thought for a while, and said, "Alright, this king will see Manager Li." After all, Li Zhi sat down in a small pavilion not far away from the Xuan and looked at the green bamboo in the garden. Feeling contented, Pirate Li and Chi Ji served refreshments, which happened to be very thoughtful. Not long after, Xiao Shunzi in Tsing Yi came over and respectfully bowed to the prince’s gift, saying: "The slave Li Shun, see your majesty, home The host is impolite due to illness and cannot come to serve. Please forgive your sins."

　　 Li Zhi looked up and saw that Li Shun’s appearance and demeanor were really extraordinary. Li Zhi had never seen the inner court in Dayong, but regardless of their status, whether they were arrogant and tame, they all have the same characteristics, which is in their eyes. Li Shun’s eyes are cold and indifferent. Although his behavior is humble, Li Zhi can feel his pride. It is a kind of pride that governs life and death. Li Zhi remembers clearly that he has seen this That was the first time he saw the Fengyi Sect Master. In those days, he accompanied his father and the emperor to fight in the north and south. During a march, the Fengyi Sect Master floated up and talked with Li Yuan overnight. It was very speculative. After that, Dayong was supported by Bai Daowu Lin, and there was also a concubine Ji beside his father. Li Zhi will always remember the eyes of Fengyi's sect master. Those are the eyes of gentle, compassionate and compassionate sentient beings, but Li Zhi will always remember. When he led the army to attack Yang Laosheng, after helping him to assassinate the general next to Yang Laosheng, the Fengyi Sect Master exuded in an instant the surging weather, and at that moment, Li Zhi gave birth to beware of Fengyi Sect. Heart. Seeing Li Shun's temperament, Li Zhi suddenly realized that this person must be a super master, and he is the kind of person who is expected to become the opponent of Fengyi Sect Master.

　　 Thinking of this, Li Zhi said in a gentle manner: "This king has heard about some things about General Li. If this king has not guessed wrong, he has also participated in the battle in Shuzhong?"

　　 Li Shun glanced at Li Zhi in surprise and said: "His Royal Highness actually knows that the villain is a minion. The minion has known him for many years, and he has always taken care of him. Now that Jianye is chaotic, he simply abandoned the false glory. The son is eating a bowl of idle rice. If your Highness wants to condemn the servants in this palace, the servants naturally dare not resist."

　　 Li Zhi waved his hand and smiled and said: "The two countries are fighting each other. What do you guys do? What's more, now that Director Li is by Mr. Jiang's side, in the future, the king will ask Mr. Li to say a few words. It seems that Mr. Jiang is very angry. What?"

　　 Li Shun’s eyes flashed a hint of favor, saying: "Although the son was forced to go to an official position, he has served Nanchu for many years. Now that Jiangshan Sheji is perished, if the son is happy, it is impossible to say where he has been. In this battle, the intention is unclear. My son is puzzled. If his highness is willing to talk to the villain, and the villain tells the son, he might be able to fight the son and laugh."

　　 Li Zhi's heart moved, could it be that Jiang Zhe was not very repulsive to himself, so he frankly said: "In Mr. Jiang's view, Li Zhi may feel that Li Zhi is messing around, but it is really a disaster for Xiaoqiang. Li Zhi is walking on thin ice every day. I can’t get Mr. Jiang’s assistance. I’m afraid that Li Zhi’s life will not be long. I also ask Mr. Li to pass on his wishes on behalf of Li Zhi. No matter what, Mr. Jiang will be asked to come back to Dayong next time. If Mr. Jiang refuses to take care of him, I’m afraid Li Zhi will not be blessed. , Can’t respectfully listen to lessons anymore."

　　 Li Shunshili said: "His Royal Highness respects the son so much, and the slave takes the place of the son. Thank you, my son, my son only loves the beauty of mountains and rivers. He has no desire to save the world and the people, nor does he have the idea of ​​making contributions. , But I’m afraid it can only end in a future where all the birds are hidden and the rabbits are cooked."

　　 Li Zhi stood up and said sincerely: "I dare not say that the ruler and the ministers will be in peace, but Li Zhi is definitely not a person who is jealous and jealous, and he is not a king who can only share adversity but not wealth. This king knows that Mr. Jiang does not I love wealth and glory, and don’t like to make meritorious deeds, but if the world is chaotic, I am afraid that Mr. Jiang will not be able to live peacefully. Now I am in front of my Da Yong’s internal troubles. There is no leader in the south of Chu’s dragons. I am afraid that they will soon fall into chaos. It is stable, but there is a lot of force there, but there is no respect for scholars. If the people in Shu listen to Mr. Jiang’s name, they are afraid that the heart of revenge is better than the meaning of respect. It is not the threat of the king. If I, Da Yong, can’t dominate the world. , I’m afraid that there will be no pure land in the turbulent times. If Mr. Jiang is willing to help this king, this king can guarantee that in the future, Mr. Jiang can live and work in Dayong, and share the glory with him."

　　 Li Shun thought for a while, and said: "His Royal Highness is sincere, and the slave will report it to the young man verbatim." After that, Li Shun bowed and bowed, and then retreated. Sitting in the pavilion, Li Zhi was full of expectations. From Li Shun's words, Li Zhi could perceive that Jiang Zhe didn't completely refuse, but he was worried.

　　 After a while, Li Shun came back and said: "The son asks the slave to tell your highness. The matter of service is related to the honor and disgrace of the son. You can't decide at will. Now your Royal Highness is busy with military affairs, please return to the camp quickly. The son said, Your Highness He captured Shang Weijun, Shang Xiangye, who is the biological father of the concubine, so you must not be slow. Now the prince and concubine are still at large, if your Royal Highness hopes that Ping Nanchu will be easier in the future, it is better not to hunt down too much. I have caught them, that is the best."

　　Speaking of this, Li Shun glanced at King Yong, and Li Zhi nodded and said, "Tomorrow Zhao Jia will be sent to Jianye."

　　 Li Shun continued: "The lord of the country is mediocre and ignorant of slander. Now he is in prison, the society is not protected, and the world is light. It is useless to stay in Nanchu. If you bring back to Da Yong, your life will be only a few years. , I’m afraid it’s hard to survive, I’m afraid that the subjects of Nanchu will hate Dayong for this. In the past, Chu cherished the king and died in Qin, and the people of Chu hated it. There was a saying, "Although Chu has three households, Qin must be destroyed by Chu." ."

　　 Li Zhi said anxiously: "However, if I cannot take Zhao Jia and Baiguan back into captivity, how can I return to my father?"

　　 Li Shun said calmly: "The son also knows that his Highness is embarrassed, so he also said that if you have to do nothing, you must bring the lord back to Dayong, and you should not easily hurt him. You should immediately withdraw your troops and make peace with Nanchu. If the ruler cedes the land and loses sincerity, and redeem the looted rulers and ministers, one can reduce the national power of Southern Chu, and secondly, it can avoid forming incomprehensible enmity with Nanchu."

　　 Li Zhi thought for a long time, and said: "Thank you Mr. Jiang for his kind words, regardless of whether your husband agreed to serve Li Zhi or not, Li Zhi is grateful to him."

　　 Looking at Li Zhi's back, Li Shun showed a slight smile. This is because I specially asked him to receive King Yong on his behalf, and let him use his own eyes to see if Li Zhi is worth following. His answer is, it is worth it.

　　 Listening to Xiao Shunzi’s detailed response, I put down the scroll in my hand and said lightly: "It seems that Li Zhi is inevitable for me."

　　 Xiao Shunzi said: "My son, what's your opinion?"

　　 I said lightly: "His Royal Highness has a sentence that touches me very much. If the world is chaotic, where can I rest?"

　　 Xiao Shunzi said: "What's more, there is Prince Li Ang. If that person is really Li Ang, the prince will have to use the power of Emperor Yong to take revenge."

　　 I sighed and said, "Yes, killing Li Ang may not be difficult, but the aftermath is troublesome, but I don’t want to follow Li Zhi so easily. I wanted to do my best for Prince De, but Rong Yuan let me I gave up. Li Zhi is Mingjun. I have to see if there are good ministers around him. Then, I won't agree to work for him. I just drag it for the time being. I think we will go to Dayong as prisoners." /

　　 Xiao Shunzi said with a bitter face: "This is too humiliating, the son is actually going to be a prisoner, the guest does not do it, and he will be a prisoner."

　　 I smiled and said, "I'm afraid I am a guest now, and I won't even be able to do it in the future?"

　　 The next day, Zhao Jia was taken back to Jianye by the Yong army. When he saw King Yong, Zhao Jia repeatedly begged: "I have no rebellious heart against Da Yong. Alone."

　　 Li Zhi just persuaded him with warm words, saying only that his father missed his daughter-in-law and wanted to take them to the Yongdu family for reunion. Zhao Jia begged each other bitterly, but in the end she had to answer in tears, and finally asked to see Princess Changle, the queen, but Li Zhi said that Princess Changle was frightened, so it was inconvenient to meet.

　　 A few days later, Li Zhi searched Jianye up and down, and left Jianye with the lord, royal family, concubines, and hundreds of officials. On the same day, the kings and ministers of Southern Chu cried bitterly, and the people who sent him off were also in tears, but In front of Yongjun's cavalry, he could only swallow tears. Li Zhi sat on the horse, looked at the cold eyes on both sides, smiled bitterly: "It seems that the heart of Nanchu has not been lost."

　　 Sima Xiong who was at his side said: "Yes, but they don't have the courage to resist. Otherwise, we only have 20,000 people. They just cut a knife and we are dead."

　　 Li Zhi said indifferently: "Southerners are feminine, but we shouldn’t underestimate their strength. If we are too aggressive, I’m afraid they will desperately embarrass us. They are good at conspiracy, and we will have thorns everywhere. It."

　　 Sima Xiong heard the words "Nanren Feminine" and could not help coldly snorting: "The Southerner is really deep-minded. His Royal Highness treats that champion Jiang Zhe so courteously and corporal, but he still refuses to agree to surrender. His Royal Highness now regards him as Take the captive back to see what he looks like?"

　　 Li Zhi couldn’t help but smile again and again. He didn’t expect that after that day, he went to see Jiang Zhe several times. Jiang Zhe either asked for his illness, or quit at first sight. He refused to talk to him in depth, and he repeatedly told Li Shun. Inquiring about Jiang Zhe's feelings, Li Shun was also vague, but vaguely said that Jiang Zhe did not want to be an official in Dayong. In the end, Li Zhi had to force Jiang Zhe to be included in the list of prisoners and brought him back to Dayong. He personally went to sue Jiang Zhe, but Jiang Zhe only smiled slightly and did not seem to be annoyed. When he was on the road, Jiang Zhe only brought it. Li Shun was alone, and the other small servants were dismissed by his donation of silver. He went to the prison camp. He knew many officials well. Although the friendship was not deep, he was still able to talk. He was calm and calm. Many worried officials feel much better. Li Zhi was very worried that he would completely offend Jiang Zhe. These few days were really restless, but the army of King Qin from all over the South Chu area desperately attacked Jianye, and the army of Yongjun was already somewhat unable to resist it. He must leave Jianye as soon as possible.

　　 Princess Changle also returned to the north with the army. Although she was shocked, Princess Changle felt much more cheerful when she thought of returning to Dayong, but Li Zhi was about to leave Dayong in the past few days. Li Zhi felt that Princess Changle always wanted to say something but stopped. Li Zhi asked several times, but was perfunctory by Princess Du Changle. However, Li Zhi saw that Princess Changle didn't care about Zhao Jia, so he didn't care too much. Anyway, after returning, he had his eldest concubine to persuade him. As for the crazy Liang Wan, she seemed to have become a child. She was either crying or playing every day. There were no Fengyimen masters in Li Zhi's army, so she had to be closely guarded and sent some court ladies to take care of her.

　　 Li Zhi thinks about these things that he has encountered~IndoMTL.com~ It is really bitter and hard to say, whether he has taken a step in the attack on Jianye this time, at least the gains in front of him may change in the future It's the non-antidote that I took personally.

　　 In the crowd watching the Yong Jun leaving Jianye, Chen Zhen and Han Wuji coldly looked at the Yong Jun iron cavalry, and Han Wuji said in a low voice: "Actually, it is not difficult to save the son, but the son But they just refused."

　　Chen Zhen said indifferently: "You don’t know that the son and the king of Yong have always been connected. Although it is mostly for Southern Chu, I think the son still values ​​the king of Yong very much. This time, the king of Yong is thirsty, listen The news from Chi Ji clearly stated that it was directed at the son. How could the son not be grateful for his respect, but the son still remembers Prince De and still has some friendship with Nan Chu, so he would rather serve as a captive with the army. "

　　 Han Han said coldly: "In fact, the son is too soft-hearted. At the beginning, the son did his best for Nan Chu. Without the son, our Shu Kingdom would not be defeated so easily. The Prince of Germany is not wholeheartedly dependent on the son. However, the son just couldn’t let it go. He went to Xiangyang to save Prince De. Unfortunately, the Lord of Nanchu was incompetent and forced Prince De to death, leaving the son sad and disappointed."

　　Chen Zhen sighed and said: "Yes, when he came back from Xiangyang, the son almost relapsed from his old illness. It was Li Ye's all kinds of consolation that the son no longer felt sad."

　　 Han said in a bitter way: "The son is in Southern Chu, and we are in Shu, and it is the same sadness. Although you always pride yourself on being indifferent and ruthless, I don't believe that you have no attachment to Shu."

　　Chen Zhen was silent for a while, and said: "Shu has treated me mean and unkind. Now that I think about it, I also feel a little nostalgic. Nan Chu treats his son with grace, so it's no wonder that the son never bears giving up."
