Chapter 215: Jinhua Union
"Jinhua, that place is good, there are many camellias, Marshal He is really good at choosing a place!"
"Jinhua can be safe from guarding the high ground on all sides and not letting the cavalry from the South China Sea come in!"
When they mentioned Jinhua, civil servants immediately became interested. It must be that the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" made them know a lot about Jinhua.
"The three sides are surrounded by mountains and a river, and the basins are scattered with three rivers" is a portrayal of Jinhua. Kuaiji Mountain and Xianxia Ridge all cover this place.
In fact, it is also a good choice for the South China Sea Army, and it is not too far from Xianxia Pass.
The ministers of the Wei State selected the alliance location, and the next step was to inform Zhou Dapeng and Li Xiaofei of the South China Navy.
Regarding how to inform the two leaders of the South China Navy, Jia Yuanen decided to set off with the messenger.
When he walked to a place not far from Qiantang, he met the messenger of the South China Navy. When Jia Yuanen met this person, he learned that Zhou Dapeng had also chosen Jinhua as the place for the alliance.
Zhou Dapeng had already taken people to the direction of Jinhua and sent a team of personal soldiers to inform Li Xiaofei that he would also go to Jinhua to meet the alliance.
In order to ensure that Sanjiangkou would not be besieged again, Li Xiaofei left the White Horse Camp and the Bow and Crossbow Camp at Sanjiangkou, and he only took the Death Soldier Camp and the Long Spear Camp to meet the alliance.
Before leaving, Chen Jingyi and Lin Changsheng asked Li Xiaofei when it would be their turn to gallop on the battlefield, and they were very disappointed.
Li Xiaofei hugged the two of them one left and one right, "Good steel should be used on the blade! The peace agreement is reached, and you will board the ship and walk up the river! If the peace agreement fails, the Wei army will definitely come to attack Sanjiangkou again. Are you two afraid that there will be no war?"
"Going up the river? Wouldn't it be too late to wait for the peace agreement to be reached?" Chen Jingyi silently calculated the schedule from Sanjiangkou to Jinling in his heart.
"General Chen is really smart! Brother Zhu San and brother Tian can arrange it, don't worry!" Li Xiaofei said as he pulled out his hand and moved Zhu A San's side for a while.
Zhu A Santian Erzhuang smiled knowingly, "We have done too much about Chen Cang, so don't worry! General Chen and General Lin can board the ship tonight!"
"What should I do if my old Meng? I stayed to defend the city again? I haven't seen my wife for several months! Li Xiaofei, you can't cheat me like this!" Meng Yu also started yelling.
"Haha, Brother Meng misses his sister-in-law again. OK, I'm going to send someone back to the South China Sea to report to Mr. Chen about the consumption of food and fodder in the past few months. Brother Meng happened to go back with him!"
"Then who will guard the Sanjiangkou? We are all leaving, how can this be done?"
"The South China Sea Army is full of talents, and there is no shortage of people guarding the city! Everyone cannot stay in the Sanjiangkou all the time! Besides, the brothers recruited from the South China Sea are coming soon! Everyone takes their own positions and perform their duties! We will gather in Wuchang in the future and celebrate the wine!"
After saying this, Li Xiaofei stepped on the back and rode forward, and everyone held their fists to see him off.
Half a month later, the peacekeeping team of Wei State and Li Xiaofei and Zhou Dapeng of the South China Navy finally met outside Jinhua City.
Although the Wei army in Jinhua City knew that the South China Sea was coming to negotiate peace, they did not dare to relax at all. They also set their bows and arrows on the ground in case of accidents.
Li Xiaofei asked Zhou Dapeng to retreat to the sword and shield camp, and rode alone to the Wei team under the city gate slowly.
When he walked ten feet away from everyone, Li Xiaofei got off Ma Dingqing and saw that nearly half of the people from Wei were acquaintances, so he waved his hand and smiled to greet him.
The officials of Wei State all lowered their heads and dared not respond. Jia Yuanen was free and easy. "Mr. Li, who is versatile, long time no see. I didn't expect that the one who came to discuss peace with us today was actually
You! Haha, it seems that this will definitely be done!"
"Mr. Jia, I'm lucky to meet you. Thanks to Lord Jia's care in Jinling back then, I'm the one who's here, Xiaofei!"
"Mr. Li, didn't you say that both of you coaches come to negotiate peace? Why are you the only ones here?"
"There are all bows and crossbows in the city. It's nothing if I die. If Marshal Zhou dies, this army will be without a leader. Then it will be in chaos! Please ask Lord Jia to give up his hands and let Marshal Zhou and I enter the city!"
Jia Yuanen waved to the city, "Let them all put down the guys in your hands! Lord Li is our old friend, don't be nervous!"
The soldiers on the city immediately lowered their crossbows and waved their hands to the underworld to respond.
Li Xiaofei turned around and waved to the South China Sea formation, and Zhou Dapeng walked over from the sword and shield camp.
"Jia has always kept Marshal Zhou's letter with him. I saw him today. It turns out that his words are as good as his person. I admire him!"
"Mr. Jia is too proud. It is rare that Master Jia is extremely courageous, so today's alliance is established!"
"Mr. Jia, let's go to the city earlier. Marshal Zhou and I are hungry. I guess there is ham for us to eat in Jinhua City!" Li Xiaofei smiled and touched his stomach.
"Enter the city! Enter the city! Have a meal first, and then discuss peace!" Jia Yuanen called everyone to make way and pulled Li Xiaofei and Zhou Dapeng into Jinhua City.
The sword and shield battalion chief Jiying outside the city retreated and set off the camp three miles away, and then hung up the battle-free sign to start cooking.
The Death Soldiers and the Diggers did not show up in the long spear camp, and Cai Guishan was taking them to set up traps at several intersections outside the city.
These are all arrangements between Li Xiaofei and Zhou Dapeng. They are sincere in their peace talks, but they must be guarded against others. Only when the sixth battalion outside the city is safe and sound can Li Xiaofei and Zhou Dapeng's life be sure to ensure that there is no accident.
Yu Tao's statement is that it is not as good as the Sixth Battalion's troops wandering around the city for a few times and making great efforts to show their military power.
The other generals of each battalion also had this view. Zhou Dapeng disagreed with the opposition. "If all the troops in the six battalions are exposed, they will make the ministers who are peacekeeping in Wei, and if they are not done well, they will stimulate them. It would be better for half of them to be stationed outside the city to show their good intentions, and the other half secretly controls various intersections, so that even if there is any change, they can immediately surround Jinhua."
Of course, the South China Sea Army thought that both the commanders were too risky to participate in the alliance. Li Xiaofei patted Yu Tao on the shoulder, "Without us two, will you not fight? You will also be in command of thousands of troops in the future. Today, you will be in charge of these six battalions for three days!"
As he spoke, he untied the sword and handed it to Yu Tao. Yu Tao took the sword and said, "Thank you Lord Li to trust, and the original item will be returned in three days!"
After entering the city, Zhou Dapeng's concerns weakened because the soldiers and civilians in the city were all facing a great enemy. Seeing Zhou Dapeng covered in armor, he bowed his head or angrily looked at him.
Jia Yuanen joked, "The people in the countryside are not etiquette, don't be surprised by the two."
"Very good, Lord Jia, sincere hostility is better than hypocritical smile." Zhou Dapeng smiled.
"Marantor Zhou always speaks so directly, and Lord Jia also wants to forgive me. I, Li Xiaofei, think that this place is a bit similar to the place when I was the prefect for the first time. It is a good place with simple folk customs."
"Lord Li is both civil and military, and is a good talent in the world. It is a blessing to be able to work with Lord Li. If Lord Li remains in the Great Wei, many problems of the Great Wei may be solved!" Jia Yuanen said as he mentioned
Have an old thing
"Mr. Jia is so proud that he is in the four battles of the Great Wei Dynasty. Guanzhong Heluo has been in war for a long time, and Jiangnan is under the threat of Cui Ju and the South China Sea. Although the two Huai Rivers are well-trained and have enough food, they will sooner or later become a big one. How can Xiaofei have the ability to cure these many stubborn diseases?"
"Master Li is like a sight to see the fire. Jia admires it. I won't say anything. It's time to go to Yingbin Tower to have a meal and drink!"
"Mr. Jia is sincere and honest, Xiaofei admires him very much."
The few people laughed and went up to the Yingbin Building to eat and drink under the guidance of their servants.
When I saw the rice dumplings on the table, everyone remembered that today was the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the May 2018.
"Don't eat the meal first. Marshal Zhou Li, I'm sorry, you can take a few rice dumplings to fill your stomach first. Jia wants to go to worship Doctor Sanlu first! Please forgive me!"
As he spoke, Jia Yuanen led everyone down, and Li Xiaofei and Zhou Dapeng followed behind him.
"Mr. Jia, we must also worship this great sage from the previous generation, and leave the car behind us!"
"Mr. Jia, go together!"
"Okay, okay, I didn't expect that the two of you respect Doctor Sanlu so much, that's great."
Jia Yuanen and everyone hurried to the Shuanglong River outside the east gate of Jinhua City, and saw that the river was already crowded.
On the river bank, the old, young, women and children were cheering and shouting, and many vendors were carrying rice dumplings, plums, peaches and apricots to sell them.
The five dragon boats in the river are chasing each other. The men on the dragon boat row hard, and the people sitting on the dragon head keep waving rhythmically, "Take the handsome guy! Take the handsome guy!"
The man paddling on the dragon boat also shouted according to the rhythm. He saw that the five dragon boats were almost in parallel, and no one was willing to fall behind. The shouts of the men had already overwhelmed the sounds on the shore.
"After the dragon boat race, it's time to worship Doctor Sanlu. Jinhua Prefect Yu Weizhong, please take us with you in this place of worship!" Jia Yuanen said to Yu Weizhong.
Yu Weizhong looked puzzled, "This, Lord Jia, our Jinhua worships the sage Wu Zixu, who has failed to prepare the three animals and statues of Doctor Sanlu!"
Jia Yuanen was about to ask questions, but his face turned dark and then smiled again, "As for the local customs, and if you follow the local customs, then you will take us to worship Wu Zixu! Lord Li, Marshal Zhou, what do you think?"
"It was also our negligence for a moment. This is the ancient Wu Kingdom. Wu and Chu have a feud. I am afraid that I will not worship Qu Yuan! This Wu Zixu is a great hero of Wu Kingdom and a famous general. It is also a good thing to worship him!" Zhou Dapeng also reacted.
"I read a little, but Qu Yuan is a loyal minister, loyal and patriotic. Even in the land of Wu, worshiping him is a matter of duty!" Li Xiaofei did not agree
"Yan also agrees with Lord Li's opinion. Qu Yuan is a loyal minister. As long as the descendants of Yan and Huang are all supposed to worship, they should not be divided into each other!" Yan Ruohua saw that Zhou and Li had different opinions, and he agreed with Li Xiaofei in public, but secretly wanted to provoke the two.
The others also started to discuss, some said that they only worship Wu Zixu, while others felt that they should worship together with Qu Yuan.
Before he finished speaking, he had arrived at the place of worship. A statue of Wu Zixu was about ten feet tall. Dozens of people dressed as soldiers of Wu State holding Wu hooks and muttered in front of the statue.
Since there was only Wu Zixu's altar, everyone had to kneel down and worship for sacrifices.
