Chapter 619: Inspiring Generals
I'm afraid none of them are Xia Yunji's opponents.
Li Juncheng couldn't help but sigh, "If Commander Xia were to compare with our warriors from Jin Wei, I'm afraid he would be much more powerful."
"Your Highness."
Tao Ankang, who was riding a horse and riding side by side with Li Juncheng's carriage, frowned and looked displeased, "Forgive me for being humble, but Your Highness seems to have overestimated the ambitions of others and destroyed his own prestige."
"This person surnamed Xia has some abilities, but compared with our warriors from the Jin Wei Kingdom, he is still far behind. His Highness the Second Highness praised the person surnamed Xia so much, which is really too flattering for this person surnamed Xia."
"What General Tao said is absolutely true." Li Juncheng smiled, "The journey to the capital will take several days, so why don't General Tao find an opportunity to discuss things with Commander Xia, so that I can open my eyes. How about growing our Jin Weiguo’s prestige?”
Tao Ankang is a military general. This time he was ordered to go to the capital for peace talks with Li Juncheng and served as Li Juncheng's bodyguard.
But Li Juncheng knew that Tao Ankang, like Li Junhao, was always the most belligerent and did not agree with the peace talks at all. He even scorned Li Juncheng's idea of valuing soft policies.
Tao Ankang's attitude at this time was within Li Juncheng's expectation.
But as a minister, Tao Ankang could not tolerate such an attitude towards a prince.
Provoking him, if he really competes with Xia Yunji and wins, as he said, he will gain the prestige of Jin Weiguo. If he returns with a big defeat, it will dampen Tao Ankang's prestige.
Why not?
Seeing what Li Juncheng said, Tao Ankang's face became even more ugly, "Is Your Highness deliberately making things difficult for your humble position?"
"How do you say this?" Li Juncheng smiled, "It was General Tao who said just now, don't let others gain prestige and destroy the prestige of our Jin Wei country. Now I have given General Tao a chance to build prestige for our Jin Wei country, but General Tao said I deliberately made things difficult..."
"I don't understand this. Is it because General Tao feels that what he said is contradictory, or is it because General Tao is afraid and feels that there is no chance of winning against Commander Xia?"
"If it's the latter, General Tao doesn't have to feel embarrassed. After all, our Jin Weiguo went to the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom for peace talks. If we lower our posture, we won't make people laugh..."
The method of provoking generals has always been easy to work, especially for generals.
Tao Ankang gritted his teeth and said, "Since His Highness looks down on the humble position, then the humble position really has to be proven to His Highness."
"That's very good." Li Juncheng nodded, "Then I will talk to Commander Lu. Commander Lu will not refuse this kind of mutual discussion."
"What I asked for!" Tao Ankang snorted coldly.
Let's learn from each other, who is afraid of whom?
Although he has never fought directly with Xia Yunji, Xia Yunji seems to have some skills and a good reputation. However, he looks thin and has only a few kilograms of meat. No matter how agile he is, in the face of his absolute power, he can only There is no point in being afraid.
At that time, we will only defeat this Xia Yunjie firmly, and let the Great Zhou Kingdom, which only knows various tactics, sneak attacks and other destructive tricks in these wars, take a look at what Jin Weiguo relies on to win!
The most important thing is to let Li Juncheng, who is as timid as a mouse and only knows how to follow the crowd, know something powerful.
Peace talks?
Huh, this is something you shouldn't do!
Tao Ankang was furious, but Li Juncheng also smiled faintly.
Some people always cannot see the situation clearly, and this is the most terrifying thing.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou Kingdom did not care about the internal struggles of the Jin Wei Kingdom. They were very happy because Xia Yunji had hunted many rabbits.
There are two reasons to be happy.
The first is that with rabbits, they can probably make a dozen tooth sacrifices and eat some stewed rabbit meat at noon for a change from the usual taste. Secondly, Commander Xia hunted rabbits so neatly, which was a small show of his skills, allowing Jin Weiguo to take a look at the capabilities of their Western Frontier Army of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Xia Yunji, on the other hand, was also full of joy at this time. He handed all the rabbits he had hunted to the cook for disposal, and happily asked Xia Mingyue for credit, "Did you just see it, sister?"
"I saw it. His skills are extraordinary and very powerful." Xia Mingyue gave Xia Yunji a thumbs up, and at the same time she did not forget to praise Wu Jin, "Wu Jin is also very powerful."
That is, of course it is a very powerful dog.
Wu Jin barked twice excitedly and continued to sit in front of the carriage.
Lu Qiyan also rode over and smiled at Xia Yunji, "Well done."
Unintentional demonstrations of strength are part of the peace negotiation game.
Xia Yunji looked like he was just having fun, but in fact he did it just right, which is really worthy of praise.
After receiving Lu Qiyan's praise, Xia Yunji smiled and said, "Since I have done so well, brother-in-law, can you give me any reward?"
award?
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Lu Qiyan laughed, "I recently read a new storybook. How about telling it to you as a reward?"
Xia Yunji, "..."
Are you sure this is a reward, not a punishment?
Thank you for the invitation. It is better to show affection and other suggestions with your sister. Just now it was a bit interesting, and he still wants to save some stomach for eating this rabbit meat.
Xia Yunji tightened his grip on the horse's belly, "I suddenly remembered that I need to go to the front for a patrol, while my sister and brother-in-law chat slowly..."
After saying that, he hurriedly drove the horses forward.
That look seemed a bit panicked and running away.
Lu Qiyan, "..."
Isn't this really a reward?
You know, his ability to speak is really recognized by his wife, who says that he is much more interesting than the storytellers outside.
Most people don't tell them, but now they take the initiative to tell them, why don't they cherish it?
Really...
Nothing to say!
Xia Mingyue couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene, but she didn't say anything. She just smiled with crooked eyebrows and even a bit of cunning.
Lu Qiyan reached out and touched his nose, "Then I'll take a look around."
"Okay." Xia Mingyue responded with a smile. After Lu Qiyan walked away, she lowered the curtain and talked to Zhuang Cui and Yin Qiao.
When she was tired of talking, Yinqiao took out a rope and played with Xia Mingyue and Zhuang Cui.
The sun quickly reached the sky, but it was still a long way from today's destination, Ping'an Station.
Everyone did not stop too much, only took a short rest, simply ate some dry food and meals, and then continued on their way.
In the afternoon, the road was flat and the speed was faster than in the morning. We arrived at Ping An Yi in the evening.
Just like the first day, the inn provided meals, but because of the extra harvest today, Lu Qiyan led the soldiers to prepare a dish of braised rabbit meat.
