Liu Fu drank some wine at the celebration banquet. After all, he was injured, so he didn't dare to drink too much, but he was a little tipsy.He pulled Chen Qian and sat down with the two of them before the case. Liu Fu took a sip of tea first, then pointed around and said casually: "It's the first time I've entered this place, but I'm not as familiar with it as Ai Qing."

With one arm on his sleeve, Chen Qian poured tea for him in a leisurely manner, then filled it up for himself, and said with a smile, "The minister is only two months earlier than the king."

Liu Fu smiled and shook his head.Listening to Chen Qian's words, it was like a spring breeze blowing on his face, so comfortable that no one could refuse.He knew in his heart that Chen Qian was flattering him, praising him for conquering the Shangdang area in just two months, but his heart still couldn't help but get drunk.

He understood that Chen Qian had just surrendered, and now he was trying to curry favor with him.Liu Fu has always been a bit wary of these flattery words, but he didn't say anything at this time. Instead, he cherished this moment very much. After all, after returning to China, he saw how Wang Sheng and Kuai Mao talked to him. , Chen Qian will definitely not be like this now.

Liu Fu saw that his demeanor was very different from that of his close ministers, so he asked curiously, "What kind of famous family does Aiqing come from?"

"I was poor when I was young, so it's not an exaggeration to say that my family is destitute." Chen Qian put his hands together and smiled, "Could it be that the king governs the country, and the sons of Feng Chulin and Wu Yi don't need it?"

"Hey, Fengchu Linzi are very delicate, so you don't need to be careful when you love Qing," Liu Fu waved his hand, "Our prime minister also comes from a poor family... Speaking of prime minister, Chen Aiqing, you have to tell me today To be honest——" Liu Fu moved closer, "Did you write that letter about 'The Great Sage's Witnessing Death'?"

"I asked someone to write it." Chen Qian admitted generously, "Last year when the king attacked Zhao, his army was strong and he was invincible for a while. At that time, my minister was Zhao Xiang. The king offered this plan, intending to alienate the king and his ministers. When the king retreated at first, both the king of Zhao and his ministers thought that the plan would work, but unexpectedly the king followed the plan, and the ministers shot themselves in the foot with a stone."

Liu Fu nodded, "Let me tell you, except for you, no one else in the Zhao Kingdom can plan this scheme. It's a good plan, but it's a pity—" He smiled complacently, "The wrong person was employed."

"The king has no doubts about employing people, and his mind is unambiguous. The minister is far away in the country of Zhao. Although the plan fails, he yearns for him."

Liu Fu couldn't figure out the truth of his words, leaned back when he heard the words, shook the tea cup in his hand a few times, then put it on the table, watching the tea leaves swirl in it.He withdrew his gaze, landed on Chen Qian again, and said with a smile: "So, Aiqing was wronged in Zhao Guo?"

Chen Qian was taken aback when he heard the words, his expression that had been flawless since Liu Fu first saw him finally changed. Although it was only for a short moment, Liu Fu finally made Liu Fu feel that not everything is here. within the grasp of man.Chen Qian picked up his own cup of tea, and said with a smile: "I am a minister of the Yong Kingdom, how can I discuss the affairs of another year?" When he first met Liu Fu, he thought Liu Fu was just a young man with no city, but Now it seems that he has a keen mind and knows the subtleties.In fact, if you think about it carefully, how can you really think that you are a man without a city in such a weird and varied way of using soldiers.

But Liu Fu didn't intend to let this talk go, "Hey, how can it be said that it was a matter of another year? I don't like being in the party, but I am only happy about getting Qing, but I don't know that it's like—" Liu Fu smiled and knocked. Table, "Where did it come from?"

Chen Qian shook his head, and finally said: "I am a scribe, without the strength to restrain a chicken. Although I can plan for King Zhao, I want to ask you to surrender, but I can't fight out with the generals. If I go with you, I will die in chaos." In the army, this is one of them."

Liu Fu didn't interrupt. Sure enough, seeing Chen Qian put down his tea, he continued, "I'm in the state of Zhao, and I hold a high position. Anyone who has a plan, the king of Zhao can accept it. Seventy-eight out of ten. Faithful ministers, but unable to serve as ministers, ministers are not retained, this is the second."

Liu Fu was taken aback, he didn't expect such sharp words to come out of Chen Qian's mouth.Since Chen Qian gave him a heart-to-heart analysis, he went straight to the point and said: "Aiqing is a great weapon, and his ambition is not small. There must be something to teach me here."

"Why dare to teach?" Chen Qian said with a smile: "I dare to ask, the king has repeatedly attacked Zhao, and he dare not devote all his troops to the whole country. What is he worried about?"

"Zhou Fa." Liu Fu said bluntly: "Zhou Fa has been coveting Luoyang for a long time. Every time I use troops, Zhou Fa must make a move. Tens of thousands of troops are trapped on the eastern front, and it is difficult to go north with all our strength."

"Exactly. Zhao's land is full of gullies and dangerous terrain. Taiyuan has been operating for many years, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It cannot be conquered without a large army. Although Yong is large, it does not have a large army, so it is difficult to fight on two fronts. If you stop fighting and raise farmers, To expand the source of troops, I am afraid that Zhao Guo will have a chance to breathe. Bind the tiger tightly. If you let it break free, it will be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles; The difficulty lies in other places - with the current military strength, if you want to block Qi and attack Zhao at the same time, you will fall into a bitter battle, and everything will change if it is delayed, and if it goes on like this, it may damage the foundation of the country."

Hearing this, Liu Fu moved his seat forward, and said earnestly, "What Mr. said is exactly right. Since Mr. said so, there must be a solution!"

"I have a plan to protect the king's army from going east, but go north as much as possible."

"Sir teach me!"

"The king of Qi is wise but has no weapons. Although he wants to go west, he has a big plan, but he is happy to see small profits. If you see small profits, you can't see far. The king can write a letter, form an alliance with Qi, and agree to share the kingdom of Yan. Although the state of Qi is large, its soldiers are weak, and there is no danger to defend it. Fearing that Wei and Yong will take advantage of the situation to attack during the Northern Expedition, they have disagreements with Yan Jiu, but they cannot go northward. Obey the order and form a covenant. My king can use the reason that Yong Guo is far away to order Qi Guo to send troops first. When Yan sees Qi's army coming to attack, he will be deeply terrified. He wants to be safe. Zhao Guo cannot protect himself. The king can send troops to help each other, so that the country of Yan can fight. When Yan and Qi raise their troops, and fight together, it will be difficult to conquer the water. My king can sit and watch the battle, and take Zhao country in one fell swoop when he is unable to advance westward. The Zhao state is broken, and Yan and Pingqi are destroyed, but it is as easy as flipping the palm of your hand."

"Okay!" Liu Fu slammed the table and straightened up, but he remembered something, frowned suddenly, and sat back slowly, "It's just... Zhou Fa has been coveting Luoyang, I see him going west." The meaning is better than Beishang, can he really form an alliance with me?"

Chen Qian shook his head and said with a smile: "King Qi is a smart man, like placing water on a high place, where there is a gap, it will flow there. How can he not go if the king cut such a big hole for him?"

"Since he's a smart person—" Liu Fu moved closer to him, his eyes shining brightly, "How can I fall into this trick?"

Chen Qian sat motionless, but smiled again, "King Qi is smart, but not smart enough. This is the so-called 'benevolence makes wisdom faint'. I heard that someone suggested to King Qi a few years ago to go north to take Yan and replace him. Land, connecting the east side into one place, the King of Qi had accepted his plan, but later saw that Luoyang was empty, he immediately regretted it, and this is how the current Yan and Qi kingdoms come into being."

"I didn't know there was such a thing." Liu Fu nodded slowly, "If it wasn't for that, I would have asked Zhou Fa's intentions first when I was attacking Zhao. Book and Qi State!"

"If this plan succeeds, it would be too big for Mr. to give me this meeting gift!" Liu Fu sighed excitedly.Chen Qian could stir up the world with just a few words in one room, Liu Fu felt terrified when he thought that this person was in Zhao State and was an enemy of Dayong.He loved and feared Chen Qian, but he didn't show it. He took his hand and said, "Sir, you have the talent to plan the country, and you are the left minister in Zhao Guan, so you are worthy of his position. Now you come to Yong State, and you should be compared to your old position." However, my Da Yong has never set up a system of left and right, and my husband is not familiar with me when he first came here, so it is very inconvenient. I want to take my husband as Doctor Guanglu and also lead the governor of Jiangzhou, what do you think?"

Chen Qian kowtowed and said: "The minister has no merits of size, but the soldier receives such a great position, and he is terrified. How can he say anything else?"

"Get up, Doctor Chen—" Liu Fu helped him up with a smile, "I will write to the prime minister early tomorrow morning, asking him to personally choose a beautiful house in Chang'an, as well as a thousand taels of gold for your husband's living arrangements. Sir is in Chang'an, if there is any inconvenience, please let me know."

"What, 1000 taels of gold?" Chu Yuyuan was quite surprised, and stroked his beard, "Your Majesty has really paid enough for this Zuo Xiang of the Zhao Kingdom."

Since the incident in Luoyang last time, Chu Yuyuan often sent some medicinal materials to Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng refused to accept them at first, but Chu Yuyuan was helpless. Wang Sheng sent back several times, and he sent them back several times. Every day, servants went back and forth. Between the prime minister's mansion and the imperial censor's mansion, the imaginations of those who care about things are full of imagination.Later, the story spread so fiercely that Liu Fu was alarmed. It was rare for Liu Fu to see Wang Sheng make a joke. After laughing for a long time, he asked Zhao Duo to bring an edict from the palace and let Wang Sheng accept it. Then the matter was settled.Doctor Chu received the imperial edict, so he continued to deliver medicines. Even if Wang Sheng never returned the gift, he would do it rain or shine.Fortunately, the two of them are on the same level, and the medicinal materials they donate each time are not considered precious, so Wang Sheng accepted his affection.

According to Liu Fu, he had to pay for the medicine anyway, whether it was paid from the prime minister's mansion or from Chu Yuyuan's pocket, it was all money from his treasury.

Wang Sheng squeezed the letter, but didn't respond, with a serious expression on his face.

Chu Yuyuan asked: "Your Majesty has reused Zhao's left minister, and there are many discussions in the court. Does the prime minister think it's inappropriate?"

Wang Sheng asked back, "What do you think, Doctor Chu?"

"Your Majesty wants to attack Zhao, and the Zhao people come to vote, of course they have to use it, not to mention the left prime minister of the Zhao country. If this matter spreads to the Zhao country, I think many people will have to work their minds. It's just..." Chu Yuyuan shook his head, "I think this person is very evil, not so easy to use."

Wang Sheng nodded slightly when he heard the words, but he didn't express anything else, making people wonder what he was thinking.Chu Yuyuan didn't bother to guess this, he walked a few steps by the pool, and suddenly said: "Hey, Prime Minister, I have been to the Prime Minister's Mansion several times, this time I really can't help but want to talk to you."

Wang Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes flashed, "Why, what private matter does Doctor Chu want from me?"

"Yes, it's really a private matter." Chu Yuyuan nodded calmly, pointed to the pool under his feet, and said, "I see that the fish in this pool are all quite fat. I think the prime minister is also a fish lover, but You fish—hey, let me just say it straight, most of your fish are field fish, and these fish are all eaten, and no one raises them in the mansion. Besides, they are raised in the mansion when they are farming. In the rice fields, you don’t need to feed them, just eat those weeds and bugs, but it’s not so easy to feed them in your own pond. If it’s your own house, it’s fine, you can raise whatever you want, but Xiang’s house usually People come and go, isn’t this a joke? Otherwise, I’ll send you some fish fry someday, and you can change the fish in the pond.”

Wang Sheng shook his head, and said with a rare smile: "I appreciate Doctor Chu's kindness. It's just that there is a greedy cat in the house, and he just likes to eat this kind of fish."

"Really? I have been here so many times, and I have never seen a cat in the Xiangfu..." Chu Yuyuan looked around, but he didn't even see a cat's tail. He shook his head, nodded again, and sighed: "It's my fault. Hey, I live so much. It's the first time I saw fish in a pond for cats to eat. Prime Minister, you are really very human... Don't hide such a precious cat, Prime Minister." , take it out and have a look."

Wang Sheng looked calm, "I haven't seen it right now, maybe I went out to play."

Chu Yuyuan nodded without doubting him, "I'm not familiar with cats."

Wang Sheng grabbed the fish food and threw it into the pond. Seeing a large group of chubby and chubby fish competing for food below, he was probably in the right mood, and smiled and said, "My cat is very clingy."

Chu Yuyuan watched from the side, thinking that one thing is one thing, the prime minister is usually like a rock, but at this moment, those two eyes can't wait to squeeze out water, which makes him, an old man over fifty years old, a little bit overwhelmed , For some reason, the word "full of spring" suddenly appeared in his mind, which had nothing to do with Wang Sheng.

What kind of cat was that?

Before he could ask, Wang Sheng had already finished feeding, clapped his hands, and said to him: "I still have some business to do, so I won't leave Dr. Chu for dinner."

Chu Yuyuan was taken aback, regretting that he hadn't asked earlier, now it's all right, he couldn't ask any more, so he waved his hand, "Having a meal at your prime minister's residence is even more difficult than entering the palace to eat an imperial meal! , don’t bother me. The medicine is here, just remember to take it, Prime Minister.”

"Thank you, Doctor Chu, for your kindness." Wang Sheng personally escorted him to the door, and Chu Yuyuan strode away gracefully, with his back straight, and he looked more energetic than Wang Sheng.

When Wang Sheng returned to the room, he flipped through several documents, but he was still absent-minded, so he opened an empty notebook, picked up a pen and slowly wrote words on it.

"The prime minister urged me to go back again," Liu Fu unfolded the memorial, and "hissed" as soon as he read the beginning, "This is the fourth book of this month, and he wants to imitate Song Gaozong's twelve gold medals and call me go back."

This joke was a bit too much, but at this time there was only Liu Jing in the tent, he laughed and said, "What did the prime minister say this time?"

"Hey, how can I say it? It's still the same as before." Liu Fu read it and said, "I can only deal with Liu Yizhi's treason case when I go back. I'm afraid I won't be able to heal my arrow wounds outside, and the soldiers are exhausted. It is not appropriate to continue to use soldiers or something...every time, these few sentences are said differently."

"Brother, let me see, or go back, it seems that winter is coming."

"You think I don't want to go back?" Liu Fu raised his head from the memorial, "Originally, if King Zhao was captured, Zhao would be destroyed, but I didn't guard against Zhao's false surrender. The party fought all the way north to Taiyuan. Hey, I don’t have the face to go back to Chang’an if I don’t take advantage of the opportunity to attack more places before retreating.”

Liu Jing laughed, "What's the matter? You are not really Yue Wumu. If you fight more or less, who can say anything? What's more, this Northern Expedition is just for Shangdang. Now that it has been removed, it is better to wait until the spring of next year to recuperate before fighting. Zhao Guo is now at a time when he can't shrink back, and it doesn't matter if he fights this year or next year."

Liu Fu sighed, noncommittal, and looked down at the memorial again, when he suddenly let out a "huh".

He was wrong just now, this memorial is really different from the past, because at the end of the memorial, Wang Sheng wrote:

"This year's crops are abundant, Jiasui is full of cars, and the chestnuts that Ganyou brought in are golden in color, extremely sweet in taste, and very fat in meat. They should be top-grade."

Seeing his strange expression, Liu Jing leaned over curiously, "What did the prime minister write?"

Liu Fu closed the memorial and put it on the case, "Oh, he said that this year's grain harvest will be bumper."

Liu Jingjing nodded, "It's a good thing."

Liu Fu also said: "Yes."

Later, Liu Fu withdrew his troops and returned home.Because he had to go back to deal with Liu Yizhi's treason case, take care of his arrow wounds, and the soldiers were exhausted after fighting with him for so long.
