Chapter 984

Back in the Miao area, it is to accumulate grain and build a high wall. I have nothing to listen to the gossip about hou Qi and Da Wei without an emperor.

Wei Zili exterminated other rebel groups. Now, except for Miao, he is left to compete with his sworn brother Li Xiao.

Li Xiaozhen was the first military strategist of Wei Zili in those years. He was very capable.

Two years later, under the constant pressure of Wei Zili's Crusade, his strength grew stronger and stronger.

The internal friction between the two sides is great. The war has been going on all the year round, and the common people complain a lot. If we drag on, no one will win.

It's time to decide or shake hands.

It was agreed that the two former brothers would meet on both sides of the Hengjiang river.

The two sides agreed to rule by the river and get along with each other peacefully, but their minds were different.

Who doesn't want to unify the country and become an emperor.

"Second brother, long time no see, you are old."

The armed forces of the two countries confront each other and stand by seriously. There is a tense atmosphere on both sides of Chen's army, and a war may break out at any time.

On the dragon boat in the river, Wei Zili meets Li Xiao.

The ship was built under the supervision of both sides. At this time, there was only one ship on the river, each with 50 cronies on board, and the others were on the shore.

"Brother, you are so healthy. As a second younger brother, how dare I say you are old?"

They are all over 50 years old. In this era, especially in recent years, wars have been frequent, and they have already been regarded as long-lived.

They openly narrate the past, but in fact they compete with each other and refuse to let each other go.

"Ha ha, sit down!"

Wei Zili, as a master, invited Li Xiao to sit down.

After sitting down, the wine was served, the troops on both sides of the Strait were ready, the fighting was heroic, and the river was open and calm.

The sky is clear, the wind is clear, the vision is magnificent, and the eagle soars.

This situation, this scene, two people can not help but produce a bit of pride and emotion.

I also think of the past when I was a bandit. At that time, I drank wine and talked about the world. No one was afraid and dared to dominate the world.

Later, they did dominate the world, but in the past, one of the three brothers died, and the other two turned against each other.

Chen Yan's death in that year made Li Xiao completely decide to promise Lin Yuan and betray Da Wei.

Li Xiao and Chen Yan were the mainstays of Wei Dynasty. Their death and departure made Wei stand on his own and hurt his strength, which led to the chaos of war and the rise of Wei Dynasty.

"If the third younger brother is still alive, he will shout and drink at this time."

Li Xiao's habitual smile gradually becomes bitter. For him, Chen Yan is his life-saving benefactor.

Before he knew Wei Zili, he was a bandit in the mountain stronghold, robbing the rich and helping the poor. He was very smart.

It was the most comfortable and relaxed time he had ever lived. Chen Yan was a straight hearted man who was also loyal and treated him as his own brother.

With the support of Li Xiao, Shanzhai defeated round after round of official suppression.

"He's always like that. When he's old, even when he's a general, he still likes to mix with ordinary soldiers."

Speaking of this, Wei Zili shook his head and sighed when he thought of the memorial written by Chen Yan because he was drunk and the impulsive sword drawn after drinking.

"Second brother, that night, I didn't order to kill third brother!"

When the old story comes up again, Wei Zili still feels very wronged.

I just want to teach Chen Yan a lesson orally, otherwise he will not be able to come down.

I didn't expect such a consequence.

"Second younger brother, it was strange that Chen's wife committed suicide. Her temper was as careless as her father Chen Yan. When she was humiliated, she would only fight and kill with a knife. How could she commit suicide?"

Looking sideways, seeing that Li Xiao did not speak, Wei Zili was more difficult to calm.

If Chen Yan had not died, the world would have been stable, and he would have been on the throne. How could there be so much chaos!

"In addition, the time when the internal supervisor came in to report Chen's suicide was also very opportune. It happened that I was angry and my third brother was angry when he drank too much..."

Since he opened his mouth, Wei Zili couldn't help saying all these words.

But Li Xiao sighed and interrupted him: "I know, it's all Lin Yuan who has done harm to his third brother and stirred up our relationship."

Wei Zili choked and glared at him. His eyes seemed to say, since he knew that Lin Yuan had killed his third brother, why should he turn his back on Da Wei and take refuge with his enemy.

Looking at him with reproach in his eyes, Li Xiao smiles instead of anger: "things have happened. I can't save my third brother. I can only save myself. The third brother's death has become a fact. Even if I show my loyalty to you, will you trust him? "

Needless to say, Wei Zili knows everything.

Since he ascended the throne, he has become a lonely man. He is afraid of Chen Yan who has soldiers in his hands, and he is not happy with Li Xiao who is so deep in the city that people can't see through.

When Chen Yan dies, even if Li Xiao is willing to continue to treat him as the eldest brother and emperor, he can understand that it is not the emperor's fault, but Lin Yuan's instigation. Wei Zili can't believe that he will be more wary of weakening Li Xiao's power.

When it comes to this, there is no need to continue to talk about the former friendship.

It's all about power and survival.

And Chen Yan, among the three, is the purest and most comfortable to get along with, without any defense.

Both Wei Zili and Li Xiao feel sorry for his death.

However, it's just a pity that he won't sacrifice his own interests for him.

"This time we meet..."

With a tacit understanding, he did not mention his loyalty and ambition. He began to play games with each other to discuss how to divide the river and govern it, as well as the rights, cooperation and status of each other.

Although both sides were willing to sit down and negotiate on the river, no one was willing to give way first. The discussion was full of gunpowder, and the courtesy and memories of boarding the ship were lost.

It was getting dark, the river was foggy, and countless torches were lit on both sides of the river.

On the ship, when it comes to the power struggle of the world, it is impossible for the two sides to reach an agreement immediately, not to mention that they are not really here for peace.

Try each other out and try to swallow each other's heart.

As it was completely dark, the fog on the river almost covered the tracks of the ships.

The officers and men on both sides of the Strait tried their best to light up all the tools that could be illuminated. The lights on the boat were bright, too. People on the shore could hardly see the shadow of the boat.

"Why did it suddenly fog so much?"

The ministers and generals of Da Wei and Hou Qi did not dare to leave the dragon boat on the river for a moment. They sent signals several times to let their masters return to camp.

In the face of this fog, I always feel bad.

In fact, the ship's Wei Zili and Li Xiao have long been aware of the weather and fog, in such a pass prone to accidents.

However, none of them wanted to show the idea of going back first. What they were fighting for was calm bearing and strategizing.

Whoever shows his intention to retreat first will lose in today's game.

The two men competed, deliberately showing that they were in power, and the sky was completely dark.

The atmosphere became more quiet in the dark fog.

The two sides were on guard against each other, but they didn't notice the unusual shadow floating in the river.

"The fog..."

Although there were not many people on board, the elite masters suddenly felt that there was an unusual danger in the usual fog.

Unfortunately, they found out too late!
