Facing Tong Guan's nostalgia for the old kindness, Gao Yu really wanted to slap the table and tell him: I am Wang Pang and I am your father.

Analyze the factors in front of you such as form, age, appearance, etc. Can Tong Guan, with his one-sided mind, believe it? Even if he really believed it, how did he become a eunuch and the court summoned him twice? What is his relationship with Zhao Xu? These have to be taken into consideration. From the appearance of Yongle City in front of us, we can see that Zhao Xu is now becoming more and more willful. Whether it is Zhong E, Shen Kuo or even Li Shunju whose suggestions are beneficial to the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu just adopted the suggestions of Xu Xi, a person who was good at flattering Zhao. Xu Xu is no longer the Zhao Xu he used to be, which makes Gao Yu have to act more cautiously.

Gao Yu calmly asked calmly: "It seems that General Tong is favored by the imperial court. I'm glad that he does. I wonder if he can be promoted by a few ranks after returning to the capital."

Tong Guan looked disdainful: "I don't care what kind of official you are promoted to. Even if you get promoted, the level of eunuch will be three levels lower than that of a minister."

"Haha, General Tong is already a eunuch. How can he still want to become the prime minister? You have to be careful. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, Taizu has decreed that eunuchs cannot interfere in politics." Gao Yu joked [

Tong Guan said disdainfully, "Who wants to give him the title of Prime Minister? Since Prime Minister Wang Anshi resigned, there is no chance for the Prime Minister to speak. The current Prime Minister Wang Guiren gave him the nickname Sanzhi Xianggong and went to the palace to present the imperial edict. Can you go to Yunling?" The imperial edict; the person who retreats from the edict and reports the matter says that the imperial edict has been obtained, and such an official cannot sit still and is tired."

Both of them burst out laughing. Gao Yu asked, "I don't think Shen Jinglue will be able to come back in a while. General Tong, if you have nothing else to do, why don't we have a few drinks? Come to Yongle City and have light tea and rice every day." Birds are coming”

Tong Guan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Young Master Gao looks so cheerful." After that, he called his guards to prepare wine and food.

With a table of simple food and a jar of wine, we talked as if we were close friends. After a thousand glasses of wine and a few glasses of wine, Tong Guan felt more and more like Gao Yu. A little displeased, he put the wine on the table: "Why do you look down on me?"

Gao Yu secretly laughed in his heart. Now that I am calling you brother, how can I ask you to call me foster father in the future?

"General Tong has misunderstood. It's not that I don't call you a brother. Being a private partner will inevitably violate the laws of the court. If so, wouldn't it be a drag on you, General?"

"I'm not afraid of what you're afraid of," Tong Guan said with a dark face and glare.

"I'm afraid you can't afford it." Gao Yu looked directly at Tong Guan

"I can't afford it." Tong Guan was a little confused. But Gao Yu's eyes were unmistakable, and every time Gao Yu looked directly at Tong Guan, he had a vague misunderstanding. He would inexplicably follow Gao Yu's wishes. Could it be that he was possessed by evil spirits? Tong Guan thought so in his heart but no longer forced it.

The two of them drank and chatted about Tong Guan's desire to meet Wang Pang's son this time. Tong Guan then talked about what happened when he was young. The sky gradually darkened and he heard the footsteps outside the door. In the courtyard, people came in in twos and threes, Shen Kuo and Li Sunju walked into the room

Tong Guan and Gao Yu stood up to greet each other: "Shen Jinglue"

"Sit down, I heard that General Tong was waiting here. I asked again and said that you two were drinking and having fun. I came to join in the fun. Come and meet me. This is Supervisor Li."

Tong Guan and Li Shunju were acquaintances. After being polite, Shen Kuo introduced Gao Yu to Li Shunju. The four of them sat down again. Shen Kuo ordered people to change the food and drinks.

Li Shunju asked: "Shen Jinglue should not drink this wine. I always feel that something will happen in the next two days."

Shen Kuo said carelessly: "Drink up. If you have something to do, you can't come so soon. Let's treat it as a farewell to Tong Guan."

Li Shunju looked at Tong Guan without envy: "The Taoist is free now and doesn't have to worry about the border affairs. As ministers, we should sweep the courtyards, wipe the courtyards, and serve the people. As a monarch, studying and practicing martial arts is not a better life." It’s just a matter of getting stronger and stronger. Let’s lead troops to fight and do what officials do. Sooner or later, things will get messy.”

Shen Kuo waved his hand: "Li Jianjun's words are wrong. You see, Li Xian and Li Zifan are both eunuchs, but they have participated in supervision many times and directed the border expeditions. They can put forward some good suggestions and achieve victory. The officer went to Xuanzhou to observe the government and declared the government. The envoy Xuanqing was once in charge of finance, saved six-tenths of the redundancy, and expanded the territory to reduce the enemy and start the construction of Lanzhou City. Now he is the envoy of Jingfu Palace. This title has not been retained by Wu Xinjun since the founding of the People's Republic of China. I’m afraid that in the future there will be no highest, only higher.”

Li Shunju said: "That's right. Isn't Taoist a disciple of Li Zifan? He is a rare military general and his future is limitless. However, we are afraid that sooner or later we will be exhausted from the battle in Yongle City. I have thought about it. Man Ning." If it turns out to be what we predicted before the death battle, I will plead for the crime of not having to die without losing my life."

Gao Yu listened to their conversation and looked at Li Shunju with some admiration in his heart. But seeing him say so decisively, it felt pity for him, "Why would Supervisor Li do this? Victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists." [

Shen Kuo shook his head: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. But if we still go to war and build a city despite knowing that we are bound to lose, I'm afraid we will all become criminals."

Tong Guan didn't speak for a long time, then he suddenly raised his glass and said: "What have you done to offend me? I don't blame you. What does the emperor want to do? We can only listen. Feng shui will take turns. When you come to my house next year..." He said and made a gesture. wine burp

Shen Kuo hurriedly stood up and covered his child's body: "How much did you drink before we went back?"

Gao Yu waved his hands slightly as if he was drunk: "I'm feeling much better, I guess I'm already drunk."

"It saves me so many worries when I'm drunk." Li Shun drank it all in one gulp and seemed melancholy.

Shen Kuo sighed. The wine seemed to make him happy. Plus, Li Shunju's willingness to drink to drown his sorrows made people even more irritated.

A hurried report broke the dullness at the wine table. A soldier ran in: "Shen Jinglue, there are thousands of Xixia soldiers outside the city. A man in the lead said he was from the Song Dynasty and was the son of the King of Zhennan. He led the troops to surrender to the Song Dynasty." "

"Okay." Gao Yu's eyes lit up and he immediately stood up.

Shen Kuo and Li Shunju also stood up and walked out. Only Tong Guan was crawling on the table drunkenly. At this moment, they didn't care about Tong Guan. The three of them walked out together and almost bumped into each other. Li Shunju glanced at Gao Yu in surprise and felt strange about Xixia. Why is this young man so excited about the surrender?

Gao Yu ignored Li Shunju's suspicious eyes and grabbed Shen Kuo's wrist. Shen Kuo knowingly ordered the soldiers: "Go and ask Xu Guishi to go to the city with you."

Three thousand soldiers lined up neatly outside the city. The ones in front were holding torches. Looking from the city, the firelight illuminated the city. The lanterns and torches illuminated the inside and outside of the city wall. The soldiers on the city were holding bows and arrows and rolling wood and stones. They were ready. The Xixia army moved forward. Thousands of arrows will be fired at once, and these thousands of troops will be destroyed before they can even reach the Cheng gate.

Gao Yu felt nervous. Liang Yibu was so brave. He ordered the soldiers to shout over and over again. His horse was at the front of the queue. The horse kicked back and stepped on the ground beneath his feet.

Panting, Xu Xi went up to the city to see Shen Kuo and others watching Liang Yibu's every move: "Shen Jinglue, do you still need to do this in person?"

"Don't I wait for Xu to handle the matter personally?" Shen Kuo's cold sarcasm in his reply revealed that Shen Kuo and Xu Xi were also at war with each other.

Li Shunju stood aside and said: "Now that Xu is in trouble, how should we deal with it?"

The three monks Shui Chi looked at the three Zhao Xu faction generals in front of them, Gao Yu, and felt that the Song army must have lost this battle.

"This man is the prince of Xixia. Because he came here to say that he is the son of the King of Zhennan, I think there is some deception and I can't let him enter the city." Xu Xi said

"Wait a minute, what if he is really the son of King Zhennan?" Shen Kuo asked

Xu Xi stared and said: "So what? King Zhennan has been dead for many years. Even if he is alive, he is still a minister of the country. Is there anything special about his son?"

"Pa!" As soon as Xu Xi finished speaking, someone grabbed her neck and slapped her in the face.

Who is so bold as to dare to attack the imperial ministers? The soldiers on the city and Liang Yibu below the city. Although he could not hear their conversation, he could clearly see every move on the city. He had already seen Gao Yu follow the two ministers to the city, and then continued

The last person said a few words. Gao Yu grabbed the person behind and gave him a slap. Liang Yibu thought he was dazzled.

"Who are you and why are you hitting me?"[

Without saying a word, Gao Yu first punched Shen Kuo and Li Shunju to stop him, which was a kind of acquiescence. His fists hit Xu Xi's face like a storm, knocking Xu Xi to the ground. Ouch, the soldiers looked at each other in confusion, but they didn't dare.

Shen Kuo looked at the city with admiration. Li Shunju felt relieved and saw that Shen Kuo didn't care, so he used his sleeve to cover his face.

After the fight, let's talk about Gao Yu's fight. Xu Xiguang was left with nothing but Shen Kuo. Then Shen Kuo asked: "Xu is doing something, I want to let this man enter the city. Since he is my official of the Song Dynasty, and he leads the troops to surrender, how can it be disrespectful?"

"Uh-huh, ouch." The beating was so inexplicable that Xu Xi was annoyed. He secretly glanced at Gao Yu, who looked so familiar. He suddenly wondered why he had forgotten that this person was vaguely King Zhennan. Could it be that King Zhennan died because of his own ghost?

Got it

"Wait a minute," Gao Yu suddenly stopped and said, "If Shen Jinglue is sincere, let him move his team back to his own city first."

"Yes, yes, this young master is right. It's so dark today that we can't see clearly from a distance. We don't know the strength of the opponent's troops and we can't let them in easily."

Shen Kuo nodded: "Young master, what you said is more reasonable than you shouting."

Xu Xi thought to himself that this was getting more and more outrageous. How could such a person appear in front of the two armies?

Gao Yu shouted to Liang Yibu: "Brother Liang, please arrange the team properly first, and then you can enter the city alone."

Liang Yibu bowed his hands to Gao Yu and thanked him, turned around and called Wang Duo and his trusted guards to explain. After that, the soldiers fell back and gradually moved away. Liang Yibu urged his horse to the city gate and opened it. In the city, four people, Shen Kuo and Li Shun, stood face to face with Gao Yu and his nose and face were swollen.
