Thanks to Mr. Safiros for his support. Brothers, let me use the red tickets!

Luo Tianji met Hu Kan, and the two talked for a while. Hu Kan immediately followed Luo Tianji to the heavenly prison...

"Open the door," Hukan asked the guard to open the door and walked into the prison. Seeing Sima Yiqing looking at the sky outside the window with his back to him, he bowed deeply and said, "Sima Taishi, I am here to invite you."

Sima Yiqing turned around and saw Hu Kan’s sincere face, and replied, “The King Hu is visiting Tianzhu to visit me, a person who is planning to usurp the throne and is seriously guilty. What is the matter?”

"Sima Taishi, I have seen with my own eyes what Qian Xiaoxing made that would float in the air. I used this to lure my father to go there that day, so planning to usurp the throne was Qian Xiaoxing's trick. I misunderstood the Taishi. I also asked the Taishi to look at the country and the country of Hu, and forgive me." Hu Kan begged.

After being wronged for so long, the resentment in his heart has finally been released. Sima Yiqing couldn't help laughing and said, "You finally know that you have wronged me. I think I have assisted the third generation of Hu King, and you are the fourth generation. You have always worked diligently and devoted your efforts to the death. You will still treat me like this. It's so annoying."

Seeing Sima Yiqing complaining, Hu Kan also understood that Sima Yiqing's attitude had begun to change, and felt relieved. After all, it was understandable that he had wronged him for so long, and asked him to say a few words, and replied: "I was confused before. I immediately regained the position of the Grand Master and told the world to clarify the misunderstanding for the Grand Master."

"No!" Sima Yiqing immediately refused.

Hukan said in confusion: "Why is this?"

There was a small table in the middle of the prison cell. Sima Yiqing sat down and said, "King Hu, you can sit there too and taste the taste of going to jail."

Hu Kan hesitated for a moment, but sat down. Sima Yiqing continued, "You ask me to come out again to deal with Qian Xiaoxing. I can promise you, but I have two conditions and I must promise me."

"Please tell me, Grand Master." Hukan replied immediately.

"First, the news of releasing me must be kept strictly confidential. In addition to you and me, there is also Luo Tianji, and no one else can know." Sima Yiqing said.

Luo Tianji stood aside, thought for a while but couldn't understand, and asked, "Teacher, why are you doing this?"

Sima Yiqing explained: "Since you want me to go to the other party Qian Xiaoxing, if Qian Xiaoxing knows that I am fighting him, he will definitely be on guard. Therefore, if you want to win Qian Xiaoxing, you must have a chance when he is careless. Qian Xiaoxing has many eyes and ears, so you can't tell anyone else."

"So that's it." Hukan nodded and said, "This is no problem. I only told the officials outside that you would be able to do it if you didn't agree to come out."

Sima Yiqing continued: "The second condition is that I am in charge of military power. If I dispatch troops and generals, I cannot interfere with outsiders. If I play with people like Qian Xiaoxing, I cannot play according to common sense. Therefore, when outsiders cannot understand, I don't want outsiders to intervene, including you, King Hu."

"Since you want to let the Taishi fight, you will naturally be willing to use people. I will definitely support you with all my strength." Hukan agreed.

Seeing Hu Kan's attitude, Sima Yiqing said with satisfaction: "Okay, since you promised my conditions, I will fight Qian Xiaoxing. I have uploaded such a big fight in his hand, so I must win it back."

"How do you fight?" Luo Tianji asked.

Sima Yiqing thought for a moment and replied: "In this way, Luo Tianji will lead the troops to the expedition in the open, and I will secretly command it."

"This is no problem." Luo Tianji nodded and asked again: "But no one can recruit soldiers now. At present, we have no troops to deploy except for 270,000 border troops. What should we do?"

"I think of my great Hu Kingdom. In the past, hundreds of thousands of troops would actually fall into the predicament of no soldiers to conquer and no soldiers to be sent." Sima Yiqing sighed and thought for a while and said, "Once the border troops are withdrawn, Shi State and Lin State will definitely take the opportunity to enter. This is definitely not possible, but we can only bet and secretly draw some border troops back, hoping not to be discovered by Shi State and Lin State."

Hu Kan asked puzzledly: "Secret draw? How to operate it?"

Sima Yiqing did not answer, but asked: "How many troops do the Si army have at present and where is its location?"

"The Si army has already had about 60,000 troops, and has just crossed Lanjiang." Hukan replied immediately.

"Sixty thousand, okay, then I will also use 60 thousand to fight Qian Xiaoxing. The secret transfer is to change the border troops into people's clothes and rush back to Shandu in a scattered manner. Just don't let Shi Guo and Lin Guo discover it." Sima Yiqing explained.

Hu Kan was overjoyed after hearing this. He had been having a headache before and how to stop the Si army. The civil and military officials had no choice but to solve it easily, but Sima Yiqing could solve it easily and replied: "The Grand Master is indeed a talented and powerful, but he only transferred 60,000 border troops. Is it too little?"

"There are too many draws, which are easy to be discovered. Moreover, Qian Xiaoxing took the initiative to attack this time. We have the advantage of being a good place and people, and 60,000 is enough." Sima Yiqing said confidently.

After hearing this, Hu Kan bowed and said, "Then I will be in trouble this time. If I can defeat the Si army, I will definitely be promoted to the Taishi and be named King and Marquis!"

Sima Yiqing didn't seem to be interested, but just murmured: "Qian Xiaoxing, you are going to compete with you!"

That night in the palace, Luo Tianji accompanied a man wearing a big windbreaker and a lapel hat on his head and walked out of the palace together. The guards at the door of the palace could not see the person's appearance and stopped the two of them. Luo Tianji took out the gold medal and said, "The emperor's words, everyone must not stop him!"

The guard looked at the gold medal and immediately knelt on one leg and let the two go.

At the next day's meeting, all the officials had arrived. Hu Kan said disappointedly: "I had already invited Sima Yiqing to come out yesterday, but he did not agree. Is there any way for everyone?"

"Your Majesty, I have a plan to block the Hu army!" Luo Tianji cooperated with Hukan to perform the show and continued: "As long as some border troops are secretly drawn back, it will not affect the border defense, but can also block the Si army."

Hu Kan said immediately without waiting for the officials to speak: "Okay, this method is so good!"

When all the officials saw that Hu Kan agreed, they immediately agreed and said that this method was good and feasible.

Seeing that everyone was satisfied, Hu Kan ordered: "Since everyone has no objection, then I will order Luo Tianji to be the general of Zhennan, and immediately draw the border troops to block the military, guard our territory, and expel the military!"

After hearing this, Luo Tianji immediately knelt down and leaned over and replied, "I have received the order and will definitely defeat the Si army. Even if it is broken into pieces, it will be spared!"

When other officials saw that someone finally came forward to fight Qian Xiaoxing, they felt relieved and applauded Luo Tianji to cheer him up.

On that day, a fast horse galloped past the main street of Shandu City, allowing passers-by to hide for a while. The soldiers immediately carried the eight hundred miles of urgent reports and couldn't help but add a few more whips. The fast horse whistled out of the city gate, and galloped all the way to stir up a burst of yellow dust...

In the north of Lanjiang River, the Si army was stationed here, and the troops were rectifying the soldiers. Although the battle of Lanjiang eliminated more than 20,000 Hu soldiers and the Si army lost more than 3,000, each unit still needs to be reorganized.

Qian Xiaoxing watched the Lanjiang River winding into the distance and said to Lu Shengzhong: "I am standing in Jiangbei now, and I always feel uneasy."

Lu Shengzhong nodded and said, "I also feel this way. Seventh brother, why are you not at ease?"

"Brother Zhong, you are not at ease, so let's write it down and read it together. Is it the same?" Qian Xiaoxing took the paper and pen, wrote it, and handed it to Lu Shengzhong. After the two of them finished writing, they opened it and looked at it. They all laughed. Sure enough, they wrote the same thing, both of them were three words: There is no way out.

Lu Shengzhong said: "Jiang is here, and it is difficult to go back. Hu still has more than 200,000 troops in Jiangbei. If we are defeated, we will be wiped out without a retreat."

"Well, you have to think of a way out for everything. Anyway, there is no hurry to attack Hu. Then build a bridge first and ensure the retreat of the troops first." Qian Xiaoxing suggested.

"Okay, I agree!"

He did it right away. Next, Si Jun started to build a bridge in a cofferdam. When he built Cangqiong Pass last time, he built a cement bridge, so he had more experience in this construction.

The soldiers surrounded a semicircular shape with sand and blocked half of the river. After the water in the middle of the cofferdam was drained, they began to dig holes at the bottom of the river to pour the piers, and the prefabricated parts of the bridge were also poured on the shore. Modern cement bridges had to be driven in large trucks of dozens of tons, and in ancient times they were also carriages at most, so there was no need to design much bearing capacity in structure.

There are many benefits to using soldiers to build bridges. Everyone obeys orders and is very active in labor. Qian Xiaoxing follows the guard company behind him and is patrolling the construction site. He nods with satisfaction when he sees everyone's performance.

Suddenly, Zhang Yongchao, deputy company commander of the guard company, ran out. It turned out that a donkey was walking up the slope with cement in front. Because the slope was steep for a long time, he couldn't get up.

The soldiers driving the donkey behind rushed to whip them with a whip. Zhang Yongqiao went and said, "Stop, don't beat them!"

The soldier hurriedly stopped, and Zhang Yongchao pushed the donkey with his shoulders behind him before letting the donkey climb up, and then said to the soldier: "Even if it is a livestock, you must treat it well. Don't beat him next time."

The soldier nodded, and Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but sigh as he saw a scene: "Zhang Yongchao is really good. He can get along with animals like this. This is really a kind of virtue. Hu Suoyuan, what kind of virtue do you think it is?"

Hu Suoyuan immediately said: "Brotherly love!"

"Damn! I think you are brothers with Donkey!" Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but curse, and everyone laughed after hearing this.

Lu Shengzhong walked over from a distance and asked, "Why are you so happy?"

Qian Xiaoxing waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, just kidding, Brother Zhong, I'm asking you for something."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Lu Shengzhong asked curiously.

In the Lanjiang River, half of the bridge has been built, the cement pavement is more than 20 meters wide, and the railings on the bridge are carved with bluestone, which is also beautiful and generous.

Qian Xiaoxing pointed to the bridge and said, "It's good to have this bridge, but if the Hu army secretly sent troops to occupy the bridge, we still have no way to retreat. Moreover, this bridge is convenient for us, and naturally the Hu army. If the Hu army goes from the bridge to attack Jiangnan, it will be very convenient."

When Lu Shengzhong heard this, he felt that the matter was indeed serious and said worriedly: "Yes, this bridge really makes it convenient for him and Hu Jun. What should I do?"

"I have considered this. The bridge was built by us and naturally belongs to our company's country. Therefore, troops should be sent to garrison. Moreover, in order to make it easier to defend, I suggest building a city wall in Jiangnan."

This is the first time I heard about building a city wall on one end of the bridge, but Lu Shengzhong also felt that this could only be the only way to ensure the safety of the bridge. He thought for a while and said, "But in order to prevent the Hu army from secretly crossing the river and then attacking the city wall on both sides, the city wall must be built in all directions, like a small city, so that it can resist the enemy's troops in the front, back, left and right."
