After a while, Lin Tongxi saw a familiar figure, it was Ding Yunyi's bodyguard Chang Zizhen.
Chang Zizheng walked into the mansion holding a sword. Everyone looked at the sword, wondering what was so special about it.
"General Xie, I would like to draw my sword. Is it possible?" Chang Zizheng asked Xie Wenzhou for his opinion.
Upon hearing this, Ling Shouping immediately led his guards to draw their swords to protect Xie Wenzhou.
As for the other civil officials, they were shocked. Could it be that Chang Zi really wanted to coerce Xie Wenzhou by force?
"... Pull it out, but this general has to say in advance, there are many powerful generals in this mansion, General Chang, please don't have any bad intentions." Xie Wenzhou stood up and pressed down his sword with his right hand.
"Please rest assured, General. I will not act rashly according to the lord's order." After Chang Zizheng said this, he drew his sword.
I saw a sword flashing with cold light being pulled out, and the sword body was exceptionally white.
Xie Wenzhou had heard of similar long swords before and had an answer in his mind, but he was not sure yet.
When the old Bu Zhaozhang saw the sword, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Could this be the White Plum Sword?"
The so-called White Plum Sword is one of the Four Gentlemen Swords, and was a gift from the late Emperor Chishun to Emperor Chihui.
This sword was later given to Ding Yunyi by Emperor Chihui and has never been taken back.
"Yes, Lord Bu is indeed knowledgeable. This sword is the White Plum Sword, the emperor's sword!" Duanmu Xin's expression changed and he became serious all of a sudden.
"Seeing this sword is like seeing the emperor himself."
"If Xiahou Jing was a minister who saved the country, why would the emperor specially bestow a sword upon my lord?"
"The emperor's intention is to have my lord gather loyal men to unite against the traitor Xiahou."
"If there are still fools who insist on believing that Xiahou Jing is a loyal minister, then I have nothing to say."
Duanmu Xin's expression was extremely serious and his tone was very stern, shocking many civil officials present.
"This..." Xie Wenzhou's subordinates began to discuss and debate Xie Wenzhou's next position.
Xie Wenzhou asked Ling Shouping to go and carefully observe the Baimei Sword. The latter came over and nodded to confirm that the sword was indeed the Baimei Sword.
"Even so, there's no reason to hesitate." Xie Wenzhou drew his sword and expressed his desire to join the battle. "My Xie family has been receiving salaries from the imperial court for generations, and we firmly support the Chi Dynasty."
"Now that the traitor Xiahou Jing has monopolized government, he is bringing disaster to the country. I, Xie Wenzhou, am willing to join forces with Lord Ding and Lord Chen to fight against Xiahou Jing!"
"Anyone who dares to persuade this general to surrender will be regarded as a traitor and executed immediately!"
Hearing this, Xie Wenzhou's subordinates all knelt down and shouted in unison: "Lord, you are wise!"
…
After confirming the alliance, the three parties began to prepare for battle with Xiahou Jing.
Time passed little by little, and Xiahou Jing finally led the army eastward.
Their warships were all connected by iron chains to improve the stability of their sailing, allowing the soldiers to walk as if on flat ground.
In Le Yuxian's tent, Qi Heyu saw Duanmu Xin and Lin Tongxi walk in.
"You two have come at the right time. The army of the traitor Xiahou is about to march, and I was just about to invite you two to come and watch the show." Le Yuxian said with a smile, and then led the three people beside him out of the tent.
This place is located on the top of the mountain, which is just right for overlooking the entire battlefield.
The area in the distance filled with warships must be Xiahou Jing's army.
Several people walked to the most suitable place for viewing, and then Le Yuxian's followers brought over Le Yuxian's special guqin.
"A good play deserves a good piece of music. Please come and appreciate my piano skills later." Le Yuxian raised the corners of his mouth, revealing his inherent confidence.
After a moment, Lin Tongxi and Duanmu Xin felt the change in the environment, and they both looked at the nearby flags.
Obviously, the wind has changed!
"The show is about to begin!" After saying this, Le Yuxian closed his eyes and concentrated on playing.
At first, the piano sounds melodious and the tunes are gentle, which makes people immersed in it.
Suddenly, the music changed abruptly and became rapid, like a violent storm.
It was at this time that Xiahou Jing's warship caught fire.
According to the plan of Le, Duanmu and Lin, fire tactics will be used in this battle.
Using fire tactics is simple, but the key is how to use fire tactics to inflict great damage on Xiahou Jing's army.
To this end, the three of them made a lot of efforts, an important part of which was espionage.
The spy sent by Le Yuxian was the strategist Yuan Shitong, who was undercover in Xiahou Jing's army and was responsible for proposing the strategy of chain iron chains.
Lin Tongxi used the intelligence agency built by Xiaojiu, which contained a man named Zhi Yuanxu, who happened to be Pang Xiang's confidant.
The Pang family owns a lot of iron mines, and the iron chain strategy can just make the Pang family profitable.
To this end, Lin and Le chose to cooperate, ordering Zhi Xuyuan to build a bridge, and let Yuan Shitong share the strategy of chain iron chains with Pang Xiang.
After hearing this, Pang Xiang immediately chose to cooperate with Yuan Shitong.
Before the battle, many soldiers in Xiahou Jing's army were seasick and unable to form effective combat capabilities.
Xiahou Jing asked Mao Dehui to train the navy many times, but the situation did not improve.
Pang and Yuan seized the opportunity to slander Mao Dehui for not working hard. Xiahou Jing was furious when he heard it and immediately replaced a general to train the navy.
But this still couldn't solve the problem, so the two of them came up with the idea of chaining iron chains.
After Xiahou Jing tried it, he thought this plan was very good, so he adopted it, made an iron chain, and handed it over to the two men to do.
So, Xiahou Jing's warships were connected with iron chains.
Of course, Xiahou Jing's subordinates also advised him to be careful of fire attacks, but Xiahou Jing thought that the wind was blowing from the northwest and not from the southeast.
If the enemy attacks with fire, they will only burn themselves.
At this time, Duanmu Xin, who knew astronomy, came in handy and guessed the time when the southeast wind would blow based on his knowledge.
Lin and Le used spies to control the speed of chain manufacturing, bringing the date of the war to a time of speculation.
In addition, in order to add fuel to the fire, Le Yuxian also sent his subordinate Fu Gongxiao to pretend to surrender.
When Fu Gongxiao pretended to surrender, he led several small boats loaded with food to surrender to Xiahou Jing.
The other party might not have thought that under certain conditions, grain powder could cause an explosion...
In this situation...if Lin Tongxi sends undercover agents to do something else...
"Bang!" Several explosions sounded.
In an instant, Xiahou Jing's warships exploded one after another, and flames engulfed the soldiers on board.
As soon as the song was finished, the three-party coalition forces had already launched an attack!
