A horse team composed of more than a dozen people from Dugi Province crossed the Yellow River north, crossed Guoyuan County and Xia County, and arrived at the city of Anyi. This famous city during the Warring States period was the capital of the Wei State, once led the world before the atmosphere, the merchants and celebrities of various countries gathered here, until the rise of the strong Qin, the King of Wei Hui in order to avoid the threat of the Qin State, only moved the capital to the south of the Yellow River Daliang City, after more than a thousand years have passed, under the Songhai Sangtian, the former Wei State Capital, at this time is just a small city with a radius of no more than five miles, and the city is not more than two zhang high.

"I am the envoy of Dayan, and I ask to see General Huangfu!"

The leader shouted at the city.

Hearing that his horsemen were from the rebels south of the Yellow River, the people in the city immediately cheered up. Huang Fu Ke had lectured more than once before, and the people who confronted them in Xia County were the elite of Sun Xiaozhe's rebels, and they must not be taken lightly. Moreover, the walls of Anyi are also too low, so short that two people can almost go to the city with their bare hands. Compared with Hedong City, which is high and deep, and compared with Pujin Guancheng, the city wall of Anyi is simply the earthen wall of a rural wild man's house.

However, even so, Huang Fu Ke was still full of confidence to station the army here.

At this time, there were almost no civilians in the city, and what remained after the rebels crossed the border was just an empty city. This also happened to save the emperor Ke a lot of trouble, Anyi City is too small, the people can't live in the soldiers, and now it is just right to divide the 30,000 people under his command into two, and 10,000 people are stationed in the city to be responsible for the city defense. The other 20,000 men camped on the north bank of the salt pond, five miles south of the city, echoing the defenders of the city.

This kind of troop arrangement was also the most common method of defending the city at that time.

No leader of the army will put all his men into the city except to defend the lonely city. In fact, in a small city like Anyi, 5,000 people is enough. Arrange 10,000 men in the city, and the extra 5,000 can be used as reserve soldiers. Five miles south of the city is a long and narrow lake called Yanchi, on the north bank of which Huangfu Ke placed 20,000 men to avoid the threat from rebel-held areas in southern Togi Province, and to echo the defenders in Anyi City.

As long as the rebels are overwhelmed, the 20,000 men placed here can fight the rebels inside and outside with the defenders of the city.

In fact, the reason is similar to the battle of Hedong City, where both sides do not regard the siege as a decisive battle, but conduct field battles outside the city.

Huangfu Ke learned that Sun Xiaozhe had sent someone over again, and he only kept sneering.

"This must be Sun Xiaozhe's trick, the general must not be fooled, it is better to kill these people to strengthen the prestige of our army!"

Chen Zai has always been the most powerful strategist by Huangfu Ke's side, and whenever there is a major event, he will do his best to be vigilant.

"Sun Xiaozhe is disgusting, if the old man believes it, he is fooled! However, how can he easily let go of such an opportunity?"

Chen Zai's heart moved, knowing that Huangfu Ke had a ghost idea again, and he was excited for a while.

"I wonder what the general is going to do with the arrivals?"

Huangfu Ke sneered:

"Except for the messenger, the rest of the people will be beheaded for public display!"

Zhang Miao, who had repeatedly persuaded Tang Dynasty generals and magistrates to surrender, had extremely rich experience, and seeing that the defenders of Anyi politely let their group into the city, he knew that the task of this visit was half. It seems that Huangfu Ke Lao'er is not a loyal and filial son, and he still has the intention of stepping on two boats and leaving a way back for himself.

In fact, it is easy to understand when you think about it, although the Tang Dynasty has just won a small victory in the first battle of Shangyang Pass, but looking at the overall situation in the world, it is Dayan who is better and occupies more advantages and initiatives. In this case, as long as it is not the kind of old stubbornness that eats the old, anyone with a clear mind will make the most powerful choice for themselves.

"Who is the messenger?"

Suddenly, a voice asked in a loud voice. Zhang Yu subconsciously replied: "A certain is the Great Yan Imperial History, Zhang Yu is also!"

As soon as the words fell, the next scene caught the ambitious imperial historian by surprise.

"Except for this person, all the rest will be beheaded for public display!"

Zhang was shocked, "You, don't you know that we are Dayan......"

"Of course I know, but the general has an order, so we naturally have to obey it, please go to the general with the last general, otherwise you will be splashed with blood......"

The defenders' movements were fast, and in the blink of an eye, several heads had already landed, and blood was splattered everywhere. After all, Zhang Chao was not a martial artist who fought in front of the battle, and when he saw such a bloody scene, his brain, which had always been flexible and free, was also rusty at this time, and he was slow to react. He only felt that he had been dragged away from the group, and by the time he reacted from the shock and looked back, a dozen or so of his followers had become headless corpses.

"This, this is ......"

Zhang Miao's heart was so confused that he didn't know which play Huangfu Ke was singing, killing all his entourage, but leaving him alone. He walked around for a while, and entered a low mansion, where an old man with gray hair was looking at him with a smile.

"The messenger came from afar, frightened, the old man apologized ......"

"This, this...... Don't dare, don't dare ......"

Zhang Yu, who had long been frightened and at a loss, saw that Huangfu Ke was so polite and polite, and he felt a chill in his heart, not knowing how this old fox was going to concoct himself. But judging from the means by which this person killed all his entourage, I am afraid that he is also more than lucky, and the reason why he temporarily kept his life is probably to play the trick of cat and mouse.

Under the despair, Zhang Yu's ambition and pride turned into a river of water, and he fell to the ground with an ordinary sound.

"The old general spares his life, Zhang Chao voted for An Lushan, no, no, he was forced to vote for An Lushan, as long as the general opened the net, Zhang Chao is willing to change his past mistakes and be a new man......"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yu's plea for mercy did not come back in return, and after a period of silence, he finally mustered up the courage to raise his head and see Huang Fu Ke's reaction. Huangfu Ke was looking at him, with a smile in his eyes.

"Where do you start with the words of Yu Shi Zhongcheng? If you vote for the Tang Dynasty, who will the old man negotiate with?"

"Huh?"

Zhang Yu felt that his thinking couldn't keep up with Huang Fuke's rhythm for a while, but he also knew that it was always right to be humble, and now, saving his life was the right thing. The death of a dozen of his followers stimulated him so much that he could not imagine that one day he would die so bloodily, his head hanging from the city to rot and grow maggots, and his body was thrown into the wilderness to be eaten by wild dogs and wild beasts.

"Zhang is confused and dull, please make it clear to the general!"

Huangfu Ke laughed.

"Yu Shi Zhongcheng is a smart person, he should know that the old man has a hard time doing this...... While speaking, Huang Fu Ke finally moved his body, came to Zhang Yu, helped him up, and pressed him to the couch next to him. "Killing the entourage of Cheng in the imperial history was actually for Qin Jin to see, and at this time, Zhongcheng in the imperial history was already a dead man in the eyes of outsiders. ”

"Dead, dead?"

Zhang Yu's intuition was dry, and he asked with difficulty, but he saw the hope of life from Huang Fuke's words.

"Yes, dead man! But this is all a trick, Qin Jin's vertical eyeliner thinks that the old man has killed you, so you and I have to talk about it......"

"I see, I see...... Zhang was stupid and stupid, and he almost put the general in a difficult and dangerous situation. ”

"Hehe, I can't complain about you, let's talk about it, Sun Xiaozhe has a lot of conditions this time. ”

The development of things is really full of twists and turns, the willows and flowers are bright, Zhang Yu has a sense of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and he can't imagine that Huangfu Ke has done so many things, but it is just a means of self-preservation. Thinking of this, he was also secretly glad that he was not a deputy envoy, otherwise he would have become one of the dead flesh at this moment.

Zhang Yu raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, but he didn't dare to say the conditions proposed by Sun Xiaozhe, in case he failed to meet Huang Fuke's requirements, angered this person, and killed people without saying a word, wouldn't that be asking for hardship?

"I can't make General Huangfu attach to my Dayan, General Sun has always regretted it, and now he sent Zhang Fu to find out General Huangfu's request......"

After listening to Zhang Yu's words, Huang Fuke smiled again.

"Yu Shi Zhongcheng is joking, the old man has the heart to belong, how can Sun Xiaozhe not write a letter to inquire?"

One sentence is like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Zhang Yu suddenly felt like falling into an ice cave, he did have a handwritten letter written by Sun Xiaozhe to Huangfu Ke, but it was not on his body, but in the wooden box held by his entourage. And that handwritten letter must have fallen into the hands of Huangfu Ke, which means that this old fox already knows all the conditions of Sun Xiaozhe.

Thinking that he had deceived Huangfu Ke and might be killed in exchange, Zhang Yu left the couch and fell to the ground again.

"Zhang Yu, I haven't seen it, I've seen blood, I'm scared and confused, please forgive the general, forgive me!"

Huang Fu Ke still smiled.

"What is this doing? Hurry up, hurry up, the old man has no choice but to kill the entourage of the Imperial History, and he has to ask the Imperial History Zhongcheng for his guilt!"

Zhang Yu got up in embarrassment this time, and said in a continuous voice:

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Sun Xiaozhe's conditions, the old man saw it. The old man is not a rare Beijing official, and he is not used to the entertainment of people in Luoyang, and he is used to staying in Shuofang, and he can't do without it. As long as you can ensure that the old man is the envoy of Shuo Fang, you can be willing to drive it!"

Zhang Miaoxindao was sure enough, when he left Dugi Dao, Sun Xiaozhe's judgment was right, the high positions among the servants could not attract Huangfu Ke, but he chose to be a festival envoy in a bitter cold place like Shuofang, but he still couldn't let go of the military power in his hands, and refused to go to Luoyang to be a prime minister in name only.

"Since General Huangfu has put forward the conditions, Zhang Yu must convey them with all his heart!"

"Okay, in the imperial history, Cheng is quick to talk, the old man's conditions are the bottom line, if Sun Xiaozhe can't do it, he doesn't have to send someone over!"

"Zhang Yu understands, understands!"

Before leaving, Zhang Yu received a wooden card, saying that it was used as a joint when he came again, and he must not blatantly announce his identity again, otherwise Da Luo Jinxian would not be killed.
