The night wind practice, the warship swayed gently on the Huai River, but for the main warship of Dongqi, standing on it, there was almost no feeling of slight sway, and Shen Tuluo lived on the water all the year round, even if the sway was more intense , He would not feel much.

Although Duan Shao's appearance is not good, he still has a glorious look in his eyes.

Shen Tu Luowei pondered, and then said: "His Royal Highness, although my Daqi Kingdom is all broken, he can think that we have other options to go now, not just relying on the Northern Han Dynasty."

"Oh?" Duan Shao immediately said: "Dadu, what other ways do you have to restore your country?"

"Rely on Chu people!"

Duan Shao just thought that Shen Tuluo was foolish, frowning and said: "Is the Great Governor saying to rely on Chu people?"

Shen Tuluo nodded slightly, Duan Shao laughed aloud: "Great Governor, you ... We and Chu are now the enemies of life and death. The 20,000 soldiers and horses of Chu are stationed in our capital, you say you rely on Chu People returning to the country, this palace ... really don't understand what you mean. Do you think that Chu people will withdraw from my Daqi land and return Linzi to us? "

"Unless the Chu people don't care about the life and death of the 100,000 soldiers of the Qinhuai Legion." Shen Tuluo's eyes are sharp: "His Highness sent someone to secretly communicate with the Northern Han People. They promised that as long as we cut off the logistics of the Chu Army, let the Qinhuai Army die. In Dingtao, I can restore Daqi's land, and even cede a county to give it to me. "

Duan Shaojin said first: "This is exactly the case. The civil war in the Northern Han Dynasty, the Beitang wind has just ascended the throne, and the dynasty has not been stabilized. The Qinhuai Legion is like a wolf. Beitang Feng is naturally worried that Zhong Liao ca n’t stop him, but his emperor ’s throne **** Sitting hot, naturally do not want to be pulled down so quickly. With our Dongqi naval engineers blocking the navy, Zhong Liao as long as he stayed on the defense line, did not have to play, and it would not take long for the Qinhuai Army to collapse without fighting. "

"But the minister was worried that once the Qinhuai Army was defeated, what else could Bei Tangfeng do to help us reinstate us?" Shen Tuluo frowned: "Beijing Tangfeng promised to help us reinstate us because of the threat of the Qinhuai Army, I Daqi Navy can help them cut off the grain road and the back road of the Qinhuai Army. As long as we help Qi, the Northern Han Dynasty will win. He is now using us, and we will naturally agree to the conditions we put forward, but Qinhuai The legion is really gone, and when he is back, how can we? "

Duan Shao raised his hand and twisted his chin, thoughtfully.

"The Chu Kingdom is betraying faith and defeating Linzi. We naturally have no antagonism with the Chu State." Shen Tu Luo Zheng said: "But the Northern Han people are also the heart of the jackals. His Royal Highness, the foundation of my Daqi's survival is that the Northern Han and Nan Chu are not in line. Up and down, no one can do anything. Too strong in any country is bad for me. Once the Qinhuai Army is defeated, the Chu State will be weak immediately. For at least two decades, if we cannot go north, the balance between the two countries will be broken. Even if Daqi succeeds in the restoration of its country, it will inevitably be a disaster. "

Duan Shao's face became solemn, and Shen Tuluo continued: "After the collapse of the Qinhuai Army, Chu's military strength can no longer be compared with that of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the Northern Han Dynasty will never miss this opportunity. Before the recovery of the Southern Chu's military strength, it will definitely go south. Cut Chu, and before that, the Northern Han people will definitely annex me Daqi. "

Duan Shao pondered for a long time before saying: "You said that the Chu people can rely on, where do you start?"

Shen Tuluo raised his finger to the endless stream of the Huaihe River: "His Royal Highness, this Huai River is in our hands, and the lifeblood of the Qinhuai Legion is waiting to be held in our hands. Now the Qinhuai Legion can sustain it, it's just counting on our big The Qishui Division could not sustain it, and the Huai Shui Grain Road was reopened. As long as the Grain Road is open, the current predicament of the Qinhuai Corps will be lifted immediately. "

Duan Shao sighed: "Our food is almost exhausted, and it will not last long, the soldiers of the sailor have low morale ..."

"Exactly." Shen Tuluo said: "The spies have received information that the Qinhuai Legion is collecting food around Dingtao, but after all, there are tens of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of war horses. The amount consumed on this day is a huge number. The grain and grass of the Qinhuai Army cannot sustain the consumption of the Qinhuai Army. Both our naval division and the Qinhuai Army are in a state of exhaustion of grain and grass. Once our army is the first to cut off the grain and grass, we will not be able to hold the Huaihe River. "

"This palace understands." Duan Shao said: "The country has been defeated, and the officers and soldiers of the navy can still stand up to the present. It is really not easy. If it were not for you, the Daqi naval division would no longer exist."

"They are all Daqi's most loyal warriors, and like the minister, they are loyal to Daqi and loyal to His Royal Highness." Shen Tu Luo Zheng said: "But the minister also understands that the food is cut off, even if the minister has the power of heaven, he can't stop the sailor. Collapse. "After a slight meal, he said:" But now there is a great opportunity to change the situation. "

"You mean?"

"Once the granary in Huize is burned, the news will soon spread." Shen Tuluo said: "If the Qinhuai Army knew that the granary was destroyed, even if the grain channel was dredged, it would be unable to return to the sky, and it will collapse immediately." Here, Shen Tuluo's lips sneered: "Zhong Liao knows that Chu's food has been burnt, and he will never easily let go of the Qinhuai Army."

Duan Shaojin said first: "That was a natural, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we blocked the retreat of the Qinhuai Legion. Zhong Liao would of course want to completely defeat the main force of Chu State."

"The imperial court of Chu Kingdom could not understand that it was the desperate situation of the Qinhuai Army." Shen Tuluo slightly lowered his voice: "His Royal Highness, if we negotiate with the Chu people at that time and let them withdraw their troops from Daqi, as long as they withdraw their troops, we can Withdrawing from Huai Shui and letting the Qin Huai Army make a living, would His Highness think that the Chu people would agree? "

Duan Shao thought for a while and said, "The Chu State naturally knows that the Qinhuai Army is important to them. Without the Qinhuai Army, the Chu State is likely to face the situation of dying of the country. Yes, the Governor, it is not time to say that they should withdraw their troops. Even if other conditions are proposed, the Chu people may not agree. "

Shen Tuluo's eyes crossed a glance: "Your Highness said, can we negotiate with the Chu people?"

Duan Shao's expression was cold, saying, "My Daqi Kingdom has been broken by the Chu people, and the father ... the father emperor was harmed by the Chu people. In the end, the North Palace will have peace with the Chu people ...! "

"Chen knows this is not easy." Shen Tuluo's eyes showed a fierce look: "The Chu army was doing evil in Linzi, and the first emperor was killed by them. We naturally cannot forget this account. It's just ... Qi ’s successor, what I should consider is my future ...! ”

Qi Guojun died in the hands of the Chu army, and it is precisely for this reason that Shen Tuluo has been difficult to propose negotiations with Chu.

The Qi people now naturally hate Chu, and for Chu Shao to Duan Shao, that is to kill the father and destroy the country. If you negotiate with Chu in private, even if it is for the benefit of Qi, it will eventually be affected by others. It is criticized that if the people of Qi State are known, the people who are influenced by emotions will certainly feel that Duan Shao is a thief and a father.

Negotiations with the Chu State will inevitably damage Duan Shao's prestige in the hearts of the Qi people. Shen Tuluo knows this and is naturally very cautious about this matter.

"If this task is successfully completed, this palace can consider negotiating with Chu." Duan Shao pondered for a long time, and finally said: "The queen sister is also the queen of Chu. Maybe she can help. "

"If Your Highness really agrees to negotiate with Chu, this matter will be handed over to the minister." Shen Tuluo immediately said: "The negotiation matters are subject to the sole responsibility of the minister, and His Highness does not have to be involved. Whether the success or failure, all will be the responsibility of the minister, Your Highness only knows nothing. "

Duan Shao's body shook and he instantly understood Shen Tuluo's meaning.

"Everyone in the world knows that the minister is the governor of the Daqi naval division, and negotiates with the Chu people on the condition that the naval division of the Daqi naval division withdraws. Everyone will think of it as a minister." Shen Tuluo said with a smile: "If the negotiation is successful, we will After Qi Fuguo, His Highness only needed to punish his servants, so that not only would not damage His Royal Prestige, but also the whole country would praise His wiseness! "

Duan Shao shook his head and said: "No, this palace will not agree. Even if you want to negotiate with Chu, this palace will come in person, you don't need ..."

"His Royal Highness!" Shen Tuluo's complexion rose: "His Royal Highness knows that it is not easy for me to build a country together? Although I am a small country with few people, but in the middle of the two tigers and wolves, I still survive. This is due to the support of the people. Since I founded the country in Qi, I have never given it back, and therefore I am supported by the people of the whole country. My highness naturally knows it. "

Duan Shao slightly bowed his head, and Shen Tuluo continued: "The people of the Qi Kingdom need a good emperor. There must be no place for your people to be criticized by His Royal Highness. His majesty is the foundation of our establishment of the Qi State. Does your Royal Highest understand the slightest damage? "

"But if you hang on this charge, then ...!"

Shen Tuluo said with a smile: "The Shen clan has suffered all kinds of national graces, it is allegiance to the king all his life, Mo said that the reputation is damaged, even if the real head fell to the ground, it is also willing." Kneeled on one knee and said, "Also Please complete your Highness, be sure to answer the request of the minister! "

"Ben Gong ...!" Duan Shao hesitated and seemed very embarrassed.

"If your Highness does not agree, the minister will not get up."

Duan Shaodao: "Great Governor, if ... If this food is burned successfully, this palace ... as you said, send ... to send you to negotiate with Chu people!"

Shen Tuluo arched his hand and said: "Your Highness Cheng Chengquan ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Duan Shao quickly raised his hands, and Shen Tuluo stood up with a smile on his face, with a happy color on his face, said:" His Royal Highness is the most important thing in the future, it will certainly Is a wise prince, I'm Da Qi .....! "I haven't finished speaking, so I heard someone shouting:" There is a signal on the shore, the spies are back! " "

The two hurriedly looked over to the south bank, only to see that there was a light on the shore, and the light was on and off for eight consecutive times. After a short pause, the light and dark continued for eight times.

"Come here, let go!" Shen Tuluo said in a deep voice.

The water on the Huaihe River was shallow, and the warship was easy to run aground. Therefore, he put the boat down from the boat and picked up the spies from the bank. The man came on the boat, and Shen Tuluo and Duan Shao immediately greeted him. Dressed as an ordinary people, she saw Shen Tuluo, ran two steps, knelt down to the ground, panting and breathing heavily: "Great Metropolitan Governor, Huize City ... The fire in Huize City skyrocketed and burned ... ... burned ...! "
