Huan Yuan didn't say a word, suddenly his wrist trembled, the fishing rod broke from it and fell into the water. "I got all the benefits I could get, why stop when I saw it better? I have to force the Han court to unanimously come again next year, and the army will fight, and the jade and stone will be burned before I will give up."

Zhongliqi knew that Huan Yuan was in a bad mood, but he knew better that Huan Yuan’s suggestions would not be accepted. The King of Minyue and Prince Wu Liu Ju were both confused by the victory in front of them, so they stopped them and gave up Wuxian, which was within reach, was tantamount to seeking a slut with a tiger, let alone the territory that had already succeeded.

"General, maybe there is another way to delay the time."

"Drag a little while" Huan Yuan turned his head and stared at Zhong Liqi in displeasure. Zhong Liqi was shocked and subconsciously took a step back, stepped on the air, and almost fell into the cabin. Huan Yuan stretched out his hand in time, grabbed Zhong Liqi, and scolded: "What's wrong with you recently? You're not so confused."

"It was caused by the general's power." Zhong Liqi smiled awkwardly. "General, have you not noticed it? Since you returned to the battlefield, your realm has made rapid progress, and you have a thousand miles a day."

"How could it be so exaggerated in a thousand miles a day?" Huan Yuan laughed, with a rare smile in his eyes. "That boy chased me so tightly. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I, a master, didn't make progress?"

“Is this what is called mutual grinding?”

"Yes, it is difficult to inspire fighting spirit without an opponent with equal strength. The three armies can seize the commander, but ordinary men cannot. If a person does not have the fighting spirit, it is difficult to make progress again."

Zhong Liqi frowned and looked very disappointed. "So, Niu'er didn't come, but I lost it."

Huan Yuan couldn't help laughing. He waved his hand and signaled Zhongliqi to talk about the serious business. Zhongliqi put away his smile and said what he found out that someone was secretly following Yan Zhu, Liang Xiao and his party. "From the accents of those people, the leader is a local, with the surname Hu, and the others are all outsiders, like a Ranger from Chang'an."

"The Ranger from Hu Chang'an" Huan Yuan's eyes flashed, and he thought for a moment, and his head slighted. "This is indeed an opportunity."

Liang Xiao stood at a high place, holding the bow and holding the arrow, and watching every move around him vigilantly.

Although it is still in the hinterland of Kuaiji County and is still a distance from the front line of the battle, Liang Xiao and Li Jiao dare not be careless at all. Without the protection of Huainan Kingdom and Jiangdu Kingdom, the county soldiers of Kuaiji County are on the front line, and only a dozen people came to welcome Yan Zhu. If an accident occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable.

For people of this era, crossing the Yangtze River is a border and a wilderness, with a vast land and sparsely populated areas, and anything can happen.

Moreover, Liang Xiao was always worried that his master Huan Yuan was commanding the Fujian and Yue army. When Huan Yuan was easy to use, he could not send people to pay attention to the movements on the river. It was normal to find that an envoy from the court came and sent someone to assassinate him.

Unlimited attacks are the first choice for the weak.

"A Xiao, you are too nervous." Li Jiao rushed over and saw Liang Xiao looking like he was facing a great enemy, and couldn't help laughing.

"You can't be nervous." Liang Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "You know why the general sent me here, but to be honest, if you really want to play against my master, I don't even have a 10% chance of winning."

Li Jiao knew the inside story. If it weren't for dealing with Huan Yuan, Liang Xiao, a young man who was just sixteen, wouldn't have had such an opportunity. In Weiyanglang's office, he is now Li Guang's entourage, and he doesn't even have the chance to be on duty, let alone go on a business trip.

"After that being said, you can't be too nervous." Li Jiao comforted: "It's too nervous, it's easy to misjudgment and miss the real goal."

Liang Xiao nodded, took a deep breath, and relaxed his nervousness. "How to train, brothers?"

"It's good progress, although the posture is a bit ugly." Li Jiao smiled and said, "With the life jacket you made, even if it falls into the water, it won't be so easy to drown. A Xiao, if we don't have you this time, we will be very passive."

"We are still very passive now." Liang Xiao frowned. "We are walking too slowly."

Li Jiao nodded with a helpless look on his face. They were indeed walking very slowly now because they were dragged down by Wang Xing and others. Wang Xing took a car, but his followers had no mounts and could only walk. It was the limit to walk thirty or forty miles a day. Before they came, Liang Xiao and others all had horses and could walk more than a hundred miles a day.

"Yan Zhuo hadn't thought of any good idea yet, so he had to delay on the road for a few days." Seeing that there was no one around, Li Jiao lowered his voice and said, "We walked fast before, saving a lot of time, so he was naturally not in a hurry. What he was anxious about was how to complete the task. The prefect and the lieutenant were all in the military camp. It was not easy to seize their military power."

Liang Xiao sighed. He could understand Yan Zhu's current difficulties. Very tricks were not so easy to use. Once he failed, he would be backfired. Yan Zhu had literary talent and a mind, but he was a scholar after all, and he was more than enough to be a strategist. It was really embarrassing him to deal with such a situation.

Marine combat is a very rigorous science, and it cannot be learned by reading two military books.

As the sun sets and night falls, Liang Xiao and Li Jiao called the officers who were practicing water war by the lake and arranged tonight's alert task. They lived in Wangjiang Post, right next to Zhenze, that is, Taihu Lake. The scenery here is very good. Up to the second floor of the post house, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery at the setting sun in Zhenze, but for Liang Xiao and others, this kind of beautiful scenery poses an unpredictable danger.

There are a large number of reeds by the lake. If someone uses the waterway to approach quietly and then leave along the waterway after success, they will have no way to do anything.

"Brother Li, you guard the high ground behind the post house, and I guard the lakeside. From now on, everyone must cheer up and must not relax."

Li Jiao looked at the surrounding environment and agreed with Liang Xiao's opinion. He reported the alert plan to Yan Zhu and notified Wei Qing and Qin Ge that no matter what happened, Yan Zhu could not be allowed to leave their sight. Even Wang Xing and others were not allowed to enter the second floor of the inn at will, in case that anyone among them colluded with Min Yue and cooperated with the inside and outside, which would be detrimental to Yan Zhu.

After hearing Li Jiao's words, Yan Zhu's face turned pale. He said nothing, just nodded.

After the arrangement was made, everyone had a full meal, brought some dry food, and entered their respective posts. Liang Xiao and a man named Li Shuyun sneaked into the reeds facing the lake in front of the inn and sat cross-legged.

"You can watch in the first half of the night, and I will come in the second half of the night." Liang Xiao said to Li Shuyun: "Don't sleep. If you can't hold on, wake me up in advance."

"Don't worry, I must have widened my eyes." Li Shuyun said while patting his chest.

Li Shuyun is also from Longyou, and is considered to be Li Jiao's fellow clan. He joined the company with a good family, was very good at riding and ejaculation, and was alert, especially his ability to fight in the field. Liang Xiao chose him because he was interested in his ability. The lakeside is where the enemy is most likely to break through, and the most capable force must be arranged.

After the arrangement was made, Liang Xiao closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and planned to take care of himself. For some reason, it was difficult for him to calm down today. He always felt that there were eyes staring at him nearby. It was not until half an hour later that he barely entered a state of meditation that seemed to sleep but not sleep.

It seemed as if in just a moment, Liang Xiao suddenly opened his eyes.

Li Shuyun was staring around vigilantly, feeling Liang Xiao's movements, and immediately turned his head. Just as he was about to speak, Liang Xiao reached out to cover his mouth, shook his head gently, signaling him not to make a sound, and pointed to his right front and raised three fingers.
