    "Uncle Liu! Here, here!"

    It was getting late at this time, and there were not many pedestrians on the street.

    Liu Jin, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, was wearing casual clothes today, holding a horse in his hand, and walking down the street with Fang Shaoxing, Jin Wuwei, who was now assigned to guard the palace gate. Beside him, there was a man dressed as a scribe.

    He was talking to the scribe when he heard the voice.

    But as soon as the sound entered his ears, he let out a "huh". During this period of time, Xue Chi ran towards the city gate and the Admiral's Yamen whenever he was free, and he heard the sound familiar.

    So looked in that direction, and really saw the carriage of the General's Mansion.

    "Little boy?"

    Liu Jin immediately laughed when he saw the small head sticking out.

    Xue Chi crawled out of the car in a hurry, ran to Liu Jin excitedly, and danced: "Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu! I thought it was too late for school today, and I didn't have time to find you. I met you here! Yesterday my mother told me a new story about you, Uncle Liu!"

    "Hahaha, really?"

    Liu Jin's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he touched his beard, secretly happy.

    "Come on, tell me, what are you talking about?"

    "Speaking of Uncle Liu's 'Changbanpo riding alone to save the general'! It is said that the general was trapped in the siege of the Huns in that battle. As a result, Uncle Liu single-handedly broke through the siege and fought with many, many generals of the Huns, and finally killed my father. It was rescued, it was amazing!"

    This was a story he had heard the other day, but Xue Chi had an excellent memory in this regard.

    Although the content of this story is not short, he opened and closed his mouth at the moment, and he could only hear the murmur...

    After a while, what Lu Jinxi told him was completely repeated by him.

    Liu Jin's face was full of red light when he heard it, and a rough man who had been on the battlefield was coaxed into a smile.

    "Oh, why did I get so much credit in that battle? It's easy to rush in to save the general, but it's hard to get out. Thanks to the general's excellent strategy, and Mr. Cai who sent people to cooperate with each other..."

    "Anyway, my mother said that my father was powerful, but without my uncles, I wouldn't be able to fight such a beautiful battle. Uncle Liu was the biggest hero in that battle."

    Xue Chi tilted his head and blinked his eyes with sincerity on his face.

    Liu Jin became more and more happy and laughed.

    Fang Shaoxing, who was standing a little later, listened to the whole process, with an evil and handsome face, but there was no good color. He only glanced at Xue Chi and asked, "Doesn't your mother tell me about me?"

    "Eh, Uncle Fang?"

    Xue Chi was too involved before, and he and Fang Shaoxing were not as familiar with Liu Jin, and their relationship was not very good, so he was inexplicably frightened. So at this time, when heard the voice, saw him.

    At the same time, he also saw the scribe standing beside him.

    He looks like he is in his thirties, wearing a green shirt and holding a white paper fan in his hand.

    The facial features on a face are extremely correct, but it is too correct and gives an indescribable sense of rigor and restraint. Those eyes are more impressive, they are dark brown water hyacinths.

    At first glance, it doesn't seem like much, but if you look at it for a long time, you can see a bit of shrewdness.

    It seems that there is nothing unusual about people, but there are thousands of strategies hidden in this stomach.

    Xue Chi was still young, he didn't see many people, he didn't understand so much, and he couldn't see it.

    But when he looked at the other party, the other party also looked at him. At this moment, when he was looked at by those eyes, he shivered for some reason, and there was a feeling that the back of the spine was chilled.

    He blinked, forgetting what he was about to say.

    When Liu Jin saw it, he turned around, and then he remembered that, before he had introduced it to Xue Chi, he half bent and pointed at the scribe: "Little Young Master, this is Mr. Cai, the number one in our army. The think tank, the general's counselor. I just came back from the border today."

    "what!"

    When Xue Chi heard it, she screamed and remembered something. So, looking at the scribe's eyes again, it became a little more eager and worshipful.

    "You're the white paper fan with a clever plan, and you're the Mr. Cai that my dad invited me after three visits to the cottage!"

    That scribe, namely Cai Xiu, was talking with Liu Jin about the court settlement, how did he think of a "little son" on the way?

    But after following Xue Kuang for many years, he recognized the carriage of the General's Mansion, and after listening to the details between Xue Chi and Liu Jin's words, he knew that this was the "little overlord" in Beijing.

    When Xue Chi was full of moon, he had been there once, and then he stayed at the border and never returned to the capital.

    Right now, he didn't expect Xue Chi's reaction at all, and even felt that what he said seemed to have something to do with him, but he didn't understand it very well.

    Slightly stunned for a moment, his brows slowly wrinkled: "God and plan, three times to look at the thatched cottage?"

    "Yes! My mother said that you are more powerful!"

    Xue Chi's eyes were about to turn into star eyes, and he completely forgot about the things that Mr. Cai had seen before.

    "Burn Nanwangpo on fire, grass people borrow arrows, fight Hanshan Pass with their tongues, inspire Nayezha with wisdom, cleverly fabricate the Eight Arrays, and plan an empty city!"

    "..."

    At this moment, Liu Jin didn't speak, Fang Shaoxing didn't speak, and Cai Xiu didn't speak.

    The three looked at each other.

    Liu Jin was a little puzzled: "I can match some of the stories the young master told in the past, but I don't have any impression of them. Mr. Cai has done it?"

    "Yes, my mother said it."

    Xue Chi's showy thoughts came up again.

    He finds telling stories to people addicting, especially when he sees the expressions on the faces of other people listening to them. So when he opened his mouth, he immediately opened his mouth as if he was pouring beans.

    "Grassman borrows arrows—"

    "At that time, in the battle at Nanwangpo, it was said that there was not enough military supplies, and they were trapped in the city. The Huns robbed our military supplies not long ago. If we are not careful, our entire army will be wiped out. This thing is frustrating."

    "But that night, when Mr. Cai climbed up and looked into the distance, he had an epiphany, and suddenly he had a plan in his mind..."

    Needless to say, this is the Daxia version of the story of Zhuge Liang's grass boat borrowing arrows.

    The grass boat was changed to a straw man, the water environment was changed to a besieged city environment, and everything else was basically the same trick.

    So after Xue Kuang, Mr. Cai boasted that there is nothing in the sky and no earth, and he was praised to the altar.

    Liu Jin was stunned.

    Fang Shaoxing, the more he listened, the more uneasy he felt. Before Xue Chi had finished blowing, he turned his head and got on his horse, leaving with a cold face.

    "Strange, why did Uncle Fang leave?"

    Xue Chi said almost the same, stopped, only to see Fang Shaoxing's back, a little surprised.

    Liu Jin was speechless.

    He glanced at Cai Xiu beside him, and all he remembered in his mind was when he sat with his legs crossed beside Xue Kuang, his seemingly smiling face was actually full of water, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

    On the other hand, Cai Xiu listened and tasted something.

    He didn't even have an official or half a post in the army, but he was able to speak up to half of Xue Kuang.

    Sometimes when Xue Kuang was away, he had the final say in the deployment of the three armies.

    Although Liu Jin also has some strategies, in the eyes of people who play tricks and tricks like him, it is far from enough to see.

    Of course, such a thing as "the grass man borrowing arrows" never happened.

    So Liu Jin was speechless.

    But if he remembered correctly, in the battle of Nanwangpo that year, the military intelligence report they wrote to the court was indeed a matter of "shortage of military supplies", and the battle was finally won.

    The general's wife, the Lu family, and Cai Xiu also knew about it.
