"The boat."
When it was time to hold the lantern, Chang Sheng arrived in front of the Huang Mansion with only four or five guards. Huang Zhizhou, who had been waiting for a long time, saw someone coming and hurriedly led his family to greet him.
"Huang Zhizhou meets with the young military advisor."
"Zhizhou, no need to be polite." Chang Sheng smiled. The guard next to him stepped forward and handed over the pastry gift box from Baifu.
"I originally wanted to treat you to a round, but I'm busy with business, so I have to let you do the work. Ah, Yan Ting has grown taller too."
Next to Huang Zhizhou, Huang Yanting, the legitimate son of the Huang family, saw the stranger looking over and hurriedly hid behind his father.
"Don't be rude when talking to the court." Huang Zhizhou scolded.
"No problem, no problem." Chang Sheng raised his head and looked at the Huang Mansion, which was decorated with lanterns and colors. I don't know why, but I feel relieved in my heart.
The traitorous general from Xishu who proved himself by killing the enemy finally returned home.
"Little military advisor, please come with me to the banquet."
"That's easy to say."
During the banquet, only his brother-in-law, Che Hu, accompanied him. This little commander of the iron execution platform who followed Huang Zhizhou and escorted him all the way out of Shu, did not dare to raise his head after eating. In the end, he found a reason to enter the house to avoid suspicion.
In the huge banquet, only Huang Zhizhou and Chang Sheng were left.
"I thought about it, and it's only February or March until the middle of the year. I plan to increase the Northern Route Army to 70,000 people."
The Northern Route Army in Tongcheng, Huzhou, now only has 30,000 troops, which has more than doubled.
"Military, are you preparing to go to war with the Shu people? If so, I am willing to lead the army south and attack Lizhou with the small military advisor." Huang Zhizhou said in a condensed voice.
"Of course we will fight." Chang Sheng put down his wine cup and exhaled, "Once the matter with King Sha Rong is over, the peace talks will disappear in a flash."
"I actually have a plan, which I discussed with Military Advisor Liu Chenliu."
Huang Zhizhou did not ask further questions, but stood up and helped Chang Sheng pour another glass of wine.
"But the plan is not perfect yet. When I return to Lizhou and finalize it, I will find you and General Shentu to discuss it carefully."
"I will never forget the kindness of the military advisor."
"Zhizhou, to be honest with you, I really want to win this battle. If I lose again, my lord may not be able to convince the old families. These old families have always been targeting me, so..." He tried to transfer me again and again for the reason of not being able to supervise the war."
"In Beiyuli... except for the little military advisor, who else can sit on the front line."
"There are so many strange people in the world, but in the final analysis, I always win. I know a lot about Western Shu, probably better than others."
"If the little strategist has nothing to do, just like me and General Shentu Guan. We all support the little strategist."
"Of course I know." Chang Sheng reached out and patted Huang Zhizhou.
"The generals of Beiyu can be roughly divided into two categories. One category, like you and General Shentu, is promoted by virtue of their military exploits and has great abilities. The other category is the generals from aristocratic families, most of whom are mediocre people who do not understand the art of war. People. But it happens that I, Beiyu, relied on my family background to conquer most of this country. This is the most unsolvable part of it. "
Neither he nor his clan brother Chang Shiro seems to be able to avoid this situation.
"Commander, please drink."
"Very good. There are so many worries and worries. Today you and I will have a rest after getting drunk."
"Huang Zhizhou drank with the military advisor."
…
Willow shoots at night.
The banquet in the Huang Mansion is finally coming to an end. Chang Sheng must have drunk a little too much, or he must have indulged in a bit of indulgence, and fell drunk on the table with his head down.
"military adviser?"
Huang Zhizhou stood up and pushed Chang Sheng, "How are you, the military advisor?"
Ever victorious.
Huang Zhizhou stopped talking and quickly turned around to look around. In an instant, his eyes briefly rested on a sword hanging on the wall.
He was silent for a few breaths.
After all, he reached out his hand, helped Chang Sheng in front of him, and walked out carefully.
Yan Pi, who had been waiting outside for a long time, was shocked when he saw this scene. In my impression, my little strategist was not an indulgent and alcoholic person.
"Commander Yan, please send the military advisor back if you can."
"General Huang, don't worry, it's your duty."
"Please wait."
Huang Zhizhou turned around and walked back. After a while, he walked out with a brand new cloak. He bent down and carefully put it on Chang Sheng.
"It's windy and cold in the middle of the night, and I'm afraid the military commander will freeze."
Yan Pi looked a little moved, nodded, ordered the guards, and helped Chang Sheng out together.
Just waiting to get on the carriage——
Chang Sheng's originally blurry eyes suddenly became awkward and lively. He sat quietly, looking down at the cloak on his body, and smiled happily.
"Little strategist, I thought you were drunk."
"Not drunk." Chang Sheng raised his head and exhaled.
"It looks like I made the right bet."
"Military advisor, could it be that you also went to a gambling house?"
"Yan Pi, you don't understand. I'm... a little happy now." Chang Sheng's voice was relaxed and he lifted up the cloak on his body.
"General Huang, I look at him and he really cares about the little military advisor."
Chang Sheng smiled and turned his head.
"Go back to the palace. There are still some files today that need to be reviewed and reviewed."
…
"Zhizhou, you seemed to be hesitating just now."
As soon as Chang Sheng left the Huang Mansion, another figure stepped out.
"You're wrong." Huang Zhizhou walked back, took off the sword on the wall, and unsheathed it.
"Ling Su, you came at a good time. Have you been hiding for a long time?"
Facing the sword light, Ling Su showed no fear, "Zhizhou, you won't kill me."
"Why?"
"I know what's on your mind." Ling Su said with a smile, "I can even guess that you don't really surrender to Chongqing. All you want is to keep the Huang family. When you crossed the river from Qingzhou, I saw something 2. I originally thought that you might be a secret agent of Xishu, but later I found out that your brother Huang Zhixiu had removed you from the family tree. Furthermore, you also killed Cao Hong of Xishu and married him in Changyang. A wife gives birth to a son.”
"What do you want to say?"
"Zhizhou, you are a complex person and an ambitious person. There may be some misunderstanding between you and me. If you and I join forces again, I will definitely restore your glory."
Huang Zhizhou smiled and raised his sword to strike.
"Zhizhou, why don't you dare to make a lord and become a prime minister, and break the earth to become a king!" Ling Su looked shocked.
The sword that chopped down was only half alive, and if it was just a little bit short, he wanted to separate the heads.
Huang Zhizhou narrowed his eyes and withdrew the knife.
"You tell me first."
Ling Su gritted his teeth, and his ferocious face finally calmed down.
"Zhizhou, you are in charge of the Northern Route Army in Beiyu. When the time comes, as long as you cooperate with me inside and outside, I will definitely be able to help you become the king of the four states in Hebei! You also know that Chang Xiaotang, the king of Beiyu, is currently suffering from internal and external troubles. There are the Sha Rong tigers eying you outside, and there are troubles within the aristocratic families. I only need a few tricks to make Beiyu fall apart."
Huang Zhizhou raised his head, looked at Ling Su, and sheathed his sword.
After a pause, he laughed.
Laughter lingered in the mansion, making Ling Su a little overwhelmed.
"Brother Ling, that's very good."
Ling Su breathed out.
Huang Zhizhou hung the knife on the wall, and when he turned around, his eyes were full of calmness. His father taught him that if you are walking on thin ice, you should never look back, stick to your heart and walk to the other side step by step.
