Chapter 225 Good and Bad Spirits

"According to Pei Song's annotation in "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Book of Wu, The Second Biography of Master Wu", in the first month of the 18th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao and Sun Quan faced each other in Ruxu. Sun Quan once broke into the front line of Cao's army from Ruxukou in a boat to observe Cao's army's deployment. Cao Cao ordered the crossbows.

They all fired together to shoot at the Wu ship. Sun Quan's light boat was hit by too many arrows on one side, and the hull tilted, threatening to capsize. Sun Quan ordered the ship to be turned around so that the other side could be hit by more arrows. After the arrows were hit, the boat was flat, and Sun Jun

The drums and music were blaring, and we returned safely. Cao Nai sighed and said: When you have a son, you should be like Sun Zhongmou, and Liu Jingsheng’s son is like a dolphin with dog ears!"

Xu Baixiang stood in the monkey court, first introduced Sun Quan's awesomeness to the Cochin wild monkeys, and also explained the origin of the allusion that giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, and then said with a proud face: "Since Sun Zhongmou can

It is natural for Your Majesty to do this.

All you need to do is wait for the sky to be dark, put dozens to hundreds of scarecrows on each boat, and then send dozens of people who dare to die in small boats to the north bank of the Furiang River to explore the strength of the Song army. The Song army will naturally gather thousands of arrows.

Fa. When that happens, I will naturally have no worries about missing arrows."

Then all the monkey officials in the monkey court looked at Xu Baixiang with astonished eyes——

After all, monkeys are monkeys. Even if they can speak human language and write Chinese characters, they are still monkeys. Even if some monkeys have read books, classics like "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms·Wu Shu·The Second Biography of Lord Wu" annotated by Pei Songzhi, even if

Not many people in the Song Dynasty may have read it, let alone monkeys.

But not long after Xu Baixiang enjoyed the adoring gazes of the monkeys, Li Changjie frowned and said: "What if the Song army did not shoot it with bows and crossbows, but used that new weapon to blow up the ship?"

Xu Baixiang was stunned when he heard this, but then he looked confident and said with a smile: "That's why the lower official said that we should send those who dare to die.

From the following official view, the new weapons of the Song Army are difficult to move after all, and there may not be many of these new weapons in the Song Army. Even if the young emperor of the Song Dynasty was willing to blow up the canoe with the new weapons, the generals of the Song Army would certainly be reluctant to do so.

"

After finishing speaking, Xu Baixiang shook his head slightly and said: "It's a pity that the official doesn't know how to operate a boat. Otherwise, the official would have to be the first to ask for orders."

After Xu Baixiang finished speaking, Li Qiande and Li Changjie couldn't help but look at each other, and then saw the look of amazement in each other's eyes——

Just listen to the nonsense that Xu Baixiang said about being the first to ask for life. After all, they are all people who can stand in the court. Even if they are monkeys, they are relatively smart monkeys and know what words can be believed and what words cannot be believed.

But as Xu Baixiang said, the "borrowing arrows from a straw boat" strategy really suits the wishes of Li Qiande and Li Changjie.

As the same saying goes, kindness does not control soldiers, and justice does not control wealth. What Vietnam is lacking now is arrows, war materials that can be used for offense and defense. If the lives of a few dead soldiers can be exchanged for a large number of arrows, then

It’s not a loss no matter what.

"Xu Qing's clever plan really won my heart."

After making up his mind, Li Qiande said: "Come here, I will give Xu Qing five ingots of silver, five pieces of silk and satin, ten pearls, and a pair of ivory."

After finishing speaking, Li Qiande did not wait for Xu Baixiang to express his gratitude, and said with a shameful expression: "It's just that the young emperor of the Song Dynasty is approaching Shenglong, and there is not much money left in the treasury. Xu Qing has been wronged. But Xu Qing

Don't worry, I will definitely reward Xu Qing again after I push back the army of the young emperor of Song Dynasty!"

Xu Baixiang hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, it is your great blessing that your Majesty will not abandon you and you will be removed from the humble position. It is your duty to die for your Majesty, so what?" Can I receive another reward from Your Majesty? I ask Your Majesty to take back your order and reward all these things to the frontline soldiers. In this way, I will be satisfied."

Li Qiande was almost moved to tears by Xu Baixiang's performance!

After feigning anger and forcing Xu Baixiang to accept these rewards, Li Qiande continued: "I have one more thing. I hope Mr. Xu can make some plans for me."

Xu Baixiang hurriedly bowed and said: "Please give me your Majesty's instructions."

"Just now Xu Qing said that he should send an envoy to Zhenla, but he doesn't know who should be sent as an envoy now?"

Li Qiande said: "I do intend to use Xu Qing as my envoy, but now that the war is tense, I still want to keep Xu Qing by my side to plan more for me."

Seeing the errand he had been thinking about to save his life fly away from his eyes, Xu Baixiang felt as sick as if he had eaten a hundred flies and had his teeth stuffed.

But no matter how disgusting it is, after all, Li Qiande has said what he said. Now even if he wants to take this opportunity to escape from Dai Viet, it is impossible. Xu Baixiang can only bow and say: "I thought that he was not the prince of Hongzhen. No."

Seeing that Li Qiande signaled him to continue speaking, Xu Baixiang said after careful consideration: "Your Majesty, there is an allusion in "Historical Records of Jin Dynasty", which says that Shen Sheng died inside, while Chong'er was born outside. Your Majesty is familiar with history books. , naturally one should know this story.”

Quietly he raised his head and looked at Li Qiande. Seeing that there was no joy or anger on Li Qiande's face, Xu Baixiang boldly continued: "Now the young emperor of the Song Dynasty is at the peak of his military power, and my country is greater... If the prince is in Zhenla, he may not have made a comeback. Opportunity."

Li Qiande hummed and waved his hand to indicate that Xu Baixiang did not need to continue.

Li Qiande actually didn't know about the "Historical Records of the Jin Dynasty" and the allusions about Shen's life and death. But Li Qiande knew that although Xu Baixiang's words were a bit unpleasant, the actual situation now is that Dai Viet is on the verge of subjugation. Yu. Under the current situation, if Crown Prince Hong Zhen can lead a group of confidants to go into exile, it would be a back-up move.

After a long moment of silence, Li Qiande finally spoke: "I'm passing on the edict, Ling Hongzhen..."

However, before Li Qiande could finish his words, a monkey soldier hurriedly ran in from outside the palace. As soon as he entered the palace, he fell to the ground. The monkey soldier had no time to get up and salute, so he just turned over from the ground and knelt down. Then he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! Laizhou has come to report that Dali has raised 100,000 troops to attack our country, Dayue!"

Shocked and angry, Li Qiande stood up from the "Dragon Chair" with a loud noise, and just as he was about to speak, another monkey soldier ran in from outside the palace. As soon as he entered the palace, he knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty! The Song Navy used five Mulan boats as warships to attack Qinghe Port, and now Qinghe Port is in ruins!"

Hearing this, Li Qiande simply sat back on the "dragon chair" and stared blankly outside the hall——

Anyway, the situation has deteriorated to this point. If there is any bad news, let’s come together!

After all, he is a monkey who has not read much books. Unlike the erudite netizens of later generations, Li Qiande has no idea what Murphy's Law is - to put it simply, good things don't work but bad things work.
