Competing

Chapter 128

Song Yi returned to the mansion depressed, and many attendants saw the master's gloomy face, and avoided them from a distance, lest they accidentally offend Song Lingyin and cause disaster.Fortunately, Song Yi hurried past and went directly into the inner study, and all the attendants breathed a sigh of relief as if they had been pardoned.

There was a small river flowing through the backyard of Lingyin's mansion, so Song Yi dug a small pond here.The cloister is surrounded by columns, and the water flows in the spring and summer. The flowers are red and the willows are green. The scenery is extremely beautiful.Song Yi's inner study was built here, and it was cool and quiet in summer, but it was late autumn and winter, and it seemed a bit bleak.

When Song Yi entered the room, there was already someone waiting in the study, and it was Fan Wenke and Fan Sanye.The maid came in and lit the stove, served tea and then left knowingly.

"Song Lingyin, how's the situation?" Seeing Song Yi's complexion, Fan Wenke cried out inwardly.

Song Yi sighed: "That kid Yin Xu just came back, he sang with Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang interfered with it, Ting Yi decided to send troops to rescue Zhao Guo."

Fan Wenke nodded, apparently having foreseen it, and was not very surprised. He asked in a deep voice, "How to save the law?"

Song Yi snorted coldly, his complexion improved a little, and he said with a smile, "This old man is the top general, Xiang Yu is the second general, and Fan Zeng is the last general to lead the army to rescue the giant deer. Liu Bang led the army to attack Guanzhong. By the way, King Huai agreed that you should break through first. Enter Xianyang from Guanzhong to conquer the king!"

"King of Guanzhong?" Fan Wenke was taken aback. Anyone who heard such a news would be speechless.

Song Yi nodded helplessly. In Pengcheng tonight, many people are destined to have trouble sleeping and eating for the Guanzhong King.

Fan Wenke was also quite surprised, and sneered: "It seems that this young Huai Wang is not simple, at least he dares to think and do, and has courage!"

Song Yi said disdainfully: "After all, he is a child. Even if Guanzhong is conquered, can Liu Bang be the king of Guanzhong? Leaving aside the old man, Xiang Yu may not even be willing!"

Fan Wenke smiled inwardly. According to his understanding of Song Yi, this old man must be extremely jealous.He said calmly: "It doesn't matter in advance, let's talk about the dispatch of the giant deer first, what does Master Ling Yin plan to do?"

Song Yi sighed: "Alas, they have a lot of people, and the old man's all-out opposition has no effect. Zhang Han and Wang Li have 40 elites, and the Chu army's strength is only 7 or [-]. How can we fight this battle? Do you want to win? If you want to say something, you have to keep the enemy out of the country, I think! It’s just hitting a stone with an egg and bringing yourself to perish.”

Fan Wenke said: "Indeed, the Qin army is powerful, and the Chu army's strength and combat power are obviously insufficient. The difference is too great, and the possibility of victory is indeed very small."

Song Yi said coldly: "Isn't it? Isn't it embarrassing to ask the old man to lead the army to rescue? Let me tell you, why bother to drag someone else if you want to send someone to death." After all, Song Yi didn't want to go. He believes that this battle will be defeated, and there will be no return, which also indirectly shows that this guy is afraid of death, not just a little bit.

Fan Wenke had an idea, and comforted him: "Hey, King Huai handed over all the military power of Chu to Ling Yin. A great opportunity is in front of us, isn't it great?"

"Huh?" Song Yi asked in confusion, "Sir, what do you mean?" Xiang Liang's body was transported back to Pengcheng. Bye, get rid of the embarrassment.Since then, Song Yi has attached great importance to Fan Wenke, and is willing to take the initiative to consult his opinion on anything.

Fan Wenke said: "Military power is in your hands. The so-called generals are not allowed to accept the orders of the emperor. You can't cross the river when you leave Pengcheng, and you can decide whether to go to Julu or not. Song Lingyin has the final say. At that time, you can use some small tricks to delay the formation , Watch the fire from the other side, wait for the Qin and Zhao countries to fight to the death, and then plot the next plan."

"What the master said is that the military power is in my hands, and I have the final say. King Huai is young and lonely, and he has to rely on me, so he can't say anything if he thinks about it."

Fan Wenke showed a bit of deepness, and said with a sinister smile: "According to the temperament of Xiang Yu and Yin Xu, if Yin you can't stand still, they will definitely not be able to sit still. They will definitely come to ask for a fight again and again. At the beginning, they may be able to take care of etiquette. It’s inevitable to be reckless in the future. If there is someone who speaks rudely, or acts like a soldier, isn’t it a good excuse? This is something you can’t ask for, and I don’t think Song Lingyin will let it go easily?”

"Wonderful!" Song Yi clapped his hands and applauded: "Mr. really has a clever plan. Xiang Yu and Yin Xu have embarrassed the old man many times, and wanted to deal with them, but there was no chance. This time, the old man just sits on the sidelines and waits for them to take the bait. Don't show mercy, let them know how powerful I, Song, are." The expression of a villain, as if he had seen Xiang Yu and Yin Xu prostrate at his feet, begging for mercy in a low voice, was actually just a daydream.

Fan Wenke said with a smile: "More than that, I learned a piece of news in the next few days. It may be very effective at an extraordinary time."

"Oh?" Song Yi was convinced by Fan Wenke and was very curious.

Fan Wenke pretended to be mysterious and said: "Does Song Lingyin know the origin of the sword in Yin Xu's hand?"

Song Yi pondered, and replied: "I heard that it belonged to Goujian, king of Yue. It is called Duan Shui. It cuts iron like mud. It is an extremely sharp sword. He is just a bandit. How can he have such a famous sword?"

Fan Wenke shook his head with a smile and said: "It doesn't matter how sharp it is, who it came from, whether it's a precious sword or not, what matters is the previous owner of this sword."

"Who is it?" Song Yi's curiosity was infinitely aroused, and he hurriedly asked.

"Meng Tian!"

"Meng Tian?" Obviously, Song Yi was a little surprised.

Fan Wenke said inscrutablely: "Do you understand what I mean? This sword belongs to Meng Tian, ​​and it is said that it was rewarded by Qin Shihuang. Who is Meng Tian? General Qin, how did this sword get into Yin Xu's hands? At a critical moment , someone’s crime can be one more secret to tyranny, right?” This guy just found out that the broken water was a gift from his niece, and he knew how related Yin Xu was to the elder brother’s family.Therefore, he wholeheartedly planned to frame him, and wanted to use Song Yi's hand to get rid of Yin Xu.

Song Yi was impatient and hurriedly said, "Can this matter be used now?"

Fan Wenke shook his head and said: "No, there may be other inside information about this matter, we don't know, maybe there are other reasons, the author Yin Xu is eloquent, and he will push it all away if he is not careful. What's more, it is now In Pengcheng, there are King Huai on top, and Xiang Yu, Yingbo and others on the bottom. It will not be so easy to kill Yin Xu. The battlefield is different, and it is easier to convince people if you choose the right time. You are the commander of the three armies, you say After all, killing a collaborating general is easy. At that time, you can use Yin Xu to betray your military situation, and the Qin people set up an ambush as an excuse to withdraw the army and return."

Song Yi was so excited, he clapped his hands happily and said, "Everything is arranged by the master!"

Fan Wenke said with a smile: "At any time, we must plan ahead. The situation is more critical than ever when Ling Yin led the army to go out this time. I wonder if Ling Yin has considered it, whether to reserve a way out?"

Song Yi's face darkened immediately, and he asked doubtfully, "The way forward? Sir, please explain clearly?"

Fan Wenke said solemnly: "The situation on the front line is critical this time, and there may be unexpected changes. Once Chu is no longer a place to live for a long time, where will Ling Yin's retreat be?"

"Sir, what do you mean?" Song Yi felt that Fan Wenke was worrying unfoundedly, and asked patiently out of respect.

Fan Wenke said solemnly: "Qi country!"

"how to say?"

Fan Wenke explained: "Tianshi is the king of Qi in name, but Tian Rong is actually the one who talks and manages. Don't forget that you and Tian Rong were in the same situation when Xiang Liang died. You have the same enemy. The enemy of the enemy should We can become friends. Tian Rong sits in the land of Qilu, and he is very powerful, so he can be used as a backup."

Song Yi was thoughtful, there is indeed a possibility of an alliance between him and Tian Rong, but how to proceed?
Fan Wenke already had a plan in mind, and analyzed: "This is not difficult. I have friendship with Tian Rongben, and Ling Yin treats Lord Gaoling kindly, so I think I can help you with the conversation. I originally intended to go to Linzi in person, and tell Mr. Xiang Rang from it. Serve as Prime Minister!"

That is to say, Song Yi's son Song Xiang became the prime minister of Qi.

What?Song Yi was suddenly overjoyed. If his son became Qi Xiang, he could retreat to avoid Qi.In the future, the rights of father and son will be equal, and the Song family will be unparalleled.The huge temptation made Song Yi smile, and the bad luck during the court meeting today was swept away.

In a short while, Song Yi and Fan Wenke planned their advances and retreats, looked at each other and laughed...
